'''Seer Terror''' is a Rare [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. Its title is a portmanteau of "seer" (another name for a fortune teller) and the phrase "sheer terror" (meaning "great fear"). It is an extra minigame that can be purchased at the [[Star Bank]] for 50 [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]].
 
In the infobox for this minigame, [[Bowser]] says the phrase ''"Ahh... I can see your future... and THIS is what I see,"'' just before a giant [[Bowser Statue]] falls on [[Luigi]]. Bowser never says this phrase during the minigame itself, instead saying the phrase ''"Ahhh... I can see your pathetic future! It's all coming into focus..."''

==Gameplay==
The whole point of the game is for the player to pull one of the ropes dangling from the ceiling to turn out as a mushroom. Other possibilities are [[Chain Chomps]], Springs, Barrels, [[Bob-ombs]], [[Podoboo]]s, golden Bowser statuettes, Thwomps, Spiny Shells, Coins, Goombas that steal your coins, basins, spun out of control, pits etc. After the player pulls one of the ropes, and gets some thing, [[Bowser]] will say, (he is sitting at a table with a crystal ball.): "Trouble will follow you wherever you go." when the player gets a [[Chain Chomp]]. Besides that, there are many amusing quotes that go along with the thing the player gets. Seemingly the only good the player can get is a [[Mushroom]], [[Coins]] or if a Bowser Bomb falls and counts down, in which the player runs from and the bomb blows up on Bowser. This mini-game is one of the only three that are single player.
Bowser welcomes the player into his chamber and states that he can predict their future, followed by the announcer saying ''"Go!"'' and four ropes falling from above. Bowser instructs the player to select one of the four ropes and pull on it within ten seconds. Each fortune is accompanied by a random event, usually something that harms the player.
