==Introduction==
==Introduction==
In ''Mario Party'', [[Bowser]]'s face appears on the screen and is altered. It shrinks to fit in the center, revealing the four splits for each player. Each character's name appears on each split screen to indicate their quarter.

It shrinks to fit in the center, revealing the four splits for each player. Each character's name (in ''Mario Party'') or icon (in ''The Top 100'' and ''Superstars'') appears on each split screen to indicate their quarter. In the latter two games, Bowser can be heard laughing before his face is altered. In the former, the names disappear, but in the remakes, the icons stay.


In ''Mario Party 2'', a star flies around one of the characters' heads, then their face is altered. The same action above occurs.

Face-Lift is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars; a Battle minigame in Mario Party 2; and a Bowser minigame in Mario Party Superstars. Prior to Superstars, it was formatted as Face Lift, and in Play Nintendo's video "Mario Party Superstars Laugh Till You Pop," it is formatted as Face-lift.[2] The name is a play on "facelift." The minigame is based on the title screen of Super Mario 64, where the player can alter Mario's face. Additionally, the iteration in Mario Party includes a background with a parody title Super Bowser 64.

Introduction[edit]

In Mario Party, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars, Bowser's face appears on the screen and is altered. It shrinks to fit in the center, revealing the four splits for each player. Each character's name (in Mario Party) or icon (in The Top 100 and Superstars) appears on each split screen to indicate their quarter. In the latter two games, Bowser can be heard laughing before his face is altered. In the former, the names disappear, but in the remakes, the icons stay.

In Mario Party 2, a star flies around one of the characters' heads, then their face is altered. The same action above occurs.

Gameplay[edit]

The objective of the minigame is to change the character's facial elements (nose, mouth, ears, etc.) to distorted positions as accurately as possible. The player who has the most accurate distorted positions wins.

On Mini-Game Island, the player must score an accuracy of at least 90 points to clear the minigame, regardless of the computer players' scores.

In Mario Party, this minigame also has a Bowser variation, triggered by landing on a Bowser Space. In this variation, players who do not score 90 points or more lose coins. If everyone gets 90 points or more, the player who landed on the Bowser Space loses coins.

The minigame reappears in Mario Party 2 as a Battle minigame. The faces that appear in Mario Party 2 are those of the six playable characters (Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Wario, and Donkey Kong). As this is a Battle minigame, this does not appear in the Mini-Game Coaster. Only Bowser's face is used in Mario Party, The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.

In Mario Party Superstars, this minigame is a 4-Player minigame. However, in Party mode, it is one of the possible minigames that can be played if the Bowser Minigame event is triggered when a player lands on a Bowser Space, and the players who do not score 80 points or more lose coins, but unlike in Mario Party, if everyone scores 80 points or more, nobody loses coins. It never appears as an end-of-turn minigame. The playable characters now vocalize whenever a part of Bowser's face is grabbed.

In all games except Mario Party Superstars,[3] if a player does not alter their face in any way from the start of the minigame, that player gets a score of zero. Additionally, the minigame ends in a draw if everyone scores zero.

In Mario Party, the minigame can be purchased from the Mini-Game House for 400 coins. In Mario Party 2, the minigame can be purchased from Woody for 900 coins.

Ending[edit]

The ending to Face Lift in Mario Party (with a perfect score)

In Mario Party, the camera zooms in on the winning border with coins around it except in the Bowser variant. In case of a tie or in case of multiple players scoring more than 90 in the Bowser variant, the winning faces stay in the borders while the losing face(s) shrink(s) away with the word "LOSE" in its/their border(s). In the case that all players score zero or less than 90 in the Bowser variant, all the faces shrink away with "LOSE."

In Mario Party 2, a rainbow-colored star floats around the player(s) that had the most points with the character looking at it. If a draw occurs, nothing will happen on the screen, though the Draw music will play.

In Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars, the winner's/winners' face(s) sparkle(s), while in the latter, the winner also exclaims.
