Grid is Good (known as Points Pile-Up in the British English version) is a General minigame from Mario Party: Island Tour. The American name is a pun on the catchphrase "Greed is good," which is based on the longer phrase from the 1987 film Wall Street.

Introduction[edit]

The top screen shows the space the player claimed it being highlighted, and another player's tromino is shown on the board taking away one of the first player's claimed squares. The number of points are awarded to the two players. The board changes, the players nod, and the game begins.

Gameplay[edit]

The numbers that were claimed by two or more players are burned out, and the players are awarded points based on the numbers on the spaces only they claimed. The player that has the most points at the end of three rounds wins.
