'''Quicksand Cache''' is a 1-vs-3 [[coin]]-collecting [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.
'''Quicksand Cache''' is a 1-vs-3 [[coin]]-collecting [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.


==Introduction==
==Overview==
The player in the [[Bowser Suit]] is standing in the middle of the [[quicksand]]. A coin falls in, and [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] ([[Bowser Jr.]] in ''Mario Party Superstars'') goes to get it and sinks into the quicksand. The three players not in the middle fall in.

The minigame opens with a [[coin]] falling into the [[quicksand]], followed by [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] ([[Bowser Jr.]] in ''Mario Party Superstars'') attempting to retrieve it before sinking into the center.


==Gameplay==
The solo player is dressed in a [[Bowser Suit]] and controls the quicksand, drawing coins and [[coin bag]]s toward them. The team players run around on quicksand, trying to collect coins while avoiding the center. If a player falls into the center of the quicksand, they are eliminated but still keep any collected coins. In the [[Mini-Game Coaster]] of ''Mario Party 2'', the human player is part of the team, and they try to collect ten coins to win in Normal difficulty, or 15 in Hard difficulty, even if they are eliminated afterward. In ''Mario Party Superstars'', like other 1-vs-3 minigames, the team's coins are divided between them at the end.
Coins and [[Coin Bag]]s fall into the quicksand as the minigame starts. Three players have to avoid being sucked into the core so they can get more coins, while the other player in the Bowser Suit controls the quicksand and gets coins automatically. If one of the players gets sucked into the core, that player will not be able to get any more coins, but they will keep the number collected. In ''Mario Party Superstars'', the coin total is shared between the three players instead of individually.
 
In the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the human player is part of the team of three and must collect a certain number of coins to win: 10 for Normal, and 15 for Hard. If the human player manages to collect the required coin number but ends up falling into the quicksand, they will still win the minigame.


It costs 150 coins to buy the minigame from [[Woody]] in ''Mario Party 2''.

Quicksand Cache is a 1-vs-3 coin-collecting minigame found in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party Superstars.

Overview[edit]

Quicksand Cache from Mario Party Superstars
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

The minigame opens with a coin falling into the quicksand, followed by Baby Bowser (Bowser Jr. in Mario Party Superstars) attempting to retrieve it before sinking into the center.

The solo player is dressed in a Bowser Suit and controls the quicksand, drawing coins and coin bags toward them. The team players run around on quicksand, trying to collect coins while avoiding the center. If a player falls into the center of the quicksand, they are eliminated but still keep any collected coins. In the Mini-Game Coaster of Mario Party 2, the human player is part of the team, and they try to collect ten coins to win in Normal difficulty, or 15 in Hard difficulty, even if they are eliminated afterward. In Mario Party Superstars, like other 1-vs-3 minigames, the team's coins are divided between them at the end.

It costs 150 coins to buy the minigame from Woody in Mario Party 2.
