'''Seer Terror''' is a Rare [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. Its title is a portmanteau of "seer", another name for a fortune teller, and the phrase "sheer terror", meaning "great fear". It is an extra minigame that can be purchased at the [[Star Bank]] for 50 [[Power Star|Stars]].

It is an extra minigame that can be purchased at the [[Star Bank]] for 50 [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]].


==Introduction==
In the infobox for this minigame, [[Bowser]] says the phrase ''"Ahh... I can see your future... and THIS is what I see,"'' just before a giant [[Bowser Statue]] falls on [[Luigi]]. Bowser never says this phrase during the minigame itself, instead saying the phrase ''"Ahhh... I can see your pathetic future! It's all coming into focus..."''
[[Bowser]] welcomes the player into his chamber, and states that he will predict his or her future. The camera zooms out to show most of the room, and, as the announcer says, "Go!", four ropes fall from above.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Bowser instructs the player to select one of the ropes and pull on it, so that he can predict their future. He or she has ten seconds to do so. A random event then occurs, most often being something that harms the player.

===Bowser's fortunes===
Bowser gives the player their fortune, which if it is a bad fortune is a one-liner based upon the event that just occurred. If it is a bad fortune, he laughs at their expense. If it is a good fortune, he looks away in envy. If it is the meteorite or Bowser bomb fortune, Bowser pumps his fist. If it is the black hole fortune, Bowser yells.
