Two cannonballs that hit each other explode upon contact. A player who gets hit with a cannonball twice is eliminated. The last player remaining wins, but, in Mario Party 2, if all four players are eliminated from the minigame or the time limit lapses, the minigame ends in a draw.

Naming

The minigame's original name, "Shell Shocked", comes from an archaic term for post-traumatic stress disorder, coined in 1915 to describe the heightened and prolonged psychosomatic distress experienced by soldiers fighting in World War I. "Tread Carefully", meanwhile, is a pun on the verb "tread" (meaning "to step") from the common phrase "tread carefully" and the treads of a tank.
