The minigame takes places in a forest where there are various trees, some grown and some cut; certain areas of overgrown grass that contain flowers; and stone statues placed in the grass.

The remaining panel contains a [[Bowser]] icon that stuns the player if they hip-drop it. If the player successfully matches four pairs of tiles before time runs out, they win ten Coins. If the player matches three pairs or fewer, they receive the total number of Coins from pairing up two of the images. This is one of the rare 1-Player minigames where the player does not lose five Coins if they lose.

Memory Match is a 1-Player minigame that appears in Mario Party.

Overview[edit]

There are nine panels, on which the player hip-drops to try and match a red mushroom, a green mushroom, a Fire Flower, and a green Koopa Shell pair before time runs out.[1] The lone panel depicts a Bowser icon and stuns the player. If two panels with different pictures are flipped over, they flip back after a few seconds. The player gets two Coins for each match, performing their winning pose each time, and win the minigame after matching every pair.

If the player does not match any pairs when 45 seconds are up, they do their losing pose. The player does not lose five Coins from losing, unlike several other 1-Player minigames, because they keep the coins from any pair matched.

It costs 50 Coins to buy Memory Match from the Mini-Game House.
