Makin' Waves is a 1-vs-3 minigame in Mario Party 4. It is similar to the Mario Party 3 minigame Tidal Toss but with the roles of the solo player and the team reversed.

Introduction[edit]

Gameplay[edit]

In this minigame, one player is on a platform in a large pool. The three team members are on small rafts on the edge of the pool. By ground-pounding, the team can create waves that might knock the solo player over. The solo player must avoid the waves by moving around on the platform to balance the weight. The team wins if at any time the solo player falls into the water. However, if the solo player can stay on the platform for 30 seconds, they win instead.

Ending[edit]

If the solo player wins, they do their victory animations while the team players do their losing animations. If the team players win, they do victory dances while the solo player floats in the water.
