Cast Aways is a 4-Player coin-collecting minigame in Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars.

Overview

The minigame opens with four players on an island, watching as three rows of items float by on the ocean.

Every player has an extendable glove used for fishing, and they try to collect as many items within 60 seconds as possible, or at least 30 coins on Mini-Game Island in the original Mario Party. Individual coins, coin bags (worth five coins), and treasure chests (worth 10 coins) float by in the ocean. Players can cast their glove to either a short, medium, or long distance, each reaching a different row and reel back, even if they did not get an item. Players only acquire Coins by reeling them at them directly, so if time runs out while a player is reeling an item, they do not obtain it.

Cast Aways does not end with winning and losing players, like other Coin minigames, and all players get to keep the Coins they have obtained.

Cast Aways costs 250 coins to buy at the Mini-Game House.

The minigame title is a play on "castaways," which refers to people who are stuck on a deserted island alone.

Notes

• This minigame's background is reused for Flash Forward in Mario Party Superstars.
• Cast Aways is one of the minigames infamous for giving players injuries on their hands, besides Deep Sea Divers, Paddle Battle, Pedal Power, and Tug o' War. The Mario Party Superstars version has a disclaimer on the rules screen that warns players to not turn the stick with their palm to avoid hand injury and stick damage. A similar warning is shown in the Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online re-release of Mario Party and advises the same thing.
