'''Box Mountain Mayhem''' is a 4-player [[mini-game]] that is found during the events of the [[Nintendo 64]] game ''[[Mario Party]]''. Unlike other mini-games, this mini-game focuses on players freely collecting the amount of [[Coins]] they gathered instead of battling to win the mini-game.

==Gameplay==
==Overview==
The objective of the mini-game is that the players attempt to break those stacks of boxes to collect many [[Coins]] as possible within the time limit of 30 seconds. Players can stun each other at a short time with different results. If the player is [[jump]]ed on, the player is partially flattened and cannot punch. If the player is [[punch]]ed, the player is pushed back from a few feet. If the player is attacked with [[Hip Drop]], the player is flattened onto the ground, and cannot move.
Players try to destroy stacks of [[Block (Super Mario 64)|boxes]] to collect as many [[Coin]]s as possible within 30 seconds. Players can stun their opponents temporarily. If a player is [[jump]]ed on, they are partially flattened and are unable to [[punch]]. If a player is punched, they are pushed back a few feet.

If a player hits a [[Crazed Crate|Whomp Block]], which is hidden around the boxes, its face is shown, and the Whomp Block bounces the player back a few feet. A box sometimes contains a [[coin bag|Coin Bag]], worth five Coins. After either time runs out or every box is destroyed, the minigame ends.


To make the mini-game more interesting, [[Whomp Block]]s are introduced in the mini-game as they remain hiding in the piles of boxes. If one of the players hit those hidden blocks, the particular block reveals itself with the appearing worried face symbol as it bounces the player back from a few feet from the boxes. They may contain some coins that are scattered around the room instead of players collecting it by simply breaking the box. Occasionally, inside of one of the boxes contains [[Coin Bag]]s that are worth five coins. These items are also scattered around when the player breaks and reveals them in the open.
The minigame costs 200 Coins to purchase at the [[Mini-Game House]] when it becomes available.


There is no winner or loser when the mini-game ended when the time limit is up, or when there are no boxes left. All the players participated and gathered the amount of coins they collected in the mini-game.
