{{DEFAULTSORT:Beat Goes On}}
[[The Beat Goes On]] is a 4-player mini-game found in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. The mini-game starts when the three [[Shy Guys]] tell the first three notes. Players have to copy the beat the three Shy Guys made. Players have to memorize each time the player that has the turn inserts a new beat. If the player inputs a incorrect beat or did not make a beat, the three Shy Guys kick that player out of the mini-game. The last player standing wins.

The minigame starts with [[Spear Guy]] playing a few drum beats. The player tries to copy the four drum beats from the Spear Guy (two in ''Mario Party: The Top 100''), in addition to adding one of their own for the next player to copy, and so forth. If a player does not play to the rhythm, they are disqualified, with several [[Dancing Spear Guy]]s throwing torches at them. The player with all their opponents eliminated wins. In ''Mario Party 3'', if sixteen drum beats are played and at least two players remain, it is a draw.

The ending in ''Mario Party 3'' only shows the winner's lily pad moving to the start as well as them performing their winning animation.
