M.P.I.Q. is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 3.

Overview

Toad asks a question related to the Mario Party series, with his questions appearing onscreen one letter at a time. Players try to answer first by hitting the ? Block, even if the question is not revealed. If the player answers correctly, a circle is displayed next to the answer. If the player is incorrect, an "X" is shown, and the ? Block crushes that player, who is disqualified the following turn, or if they do not answer within five seconds. The player that first provides three correct answers wins, but if no one accomplishes this after ten questions, the minigame ends.
