Quicksand Cache

Template:Minigame-infobox Quicksand Cache is a 1-vs-3 coin minigame found in Mario Party 2.

Introduction

The player in the Bowser Suit is standing in the middle of the quicksand. A Coin falls in and a Koopa Kid and he goes to get it and falls into the quicksand. The three players not in the middle fall in.

Gameplay

Coins and Coin Bags fall in the quicksand as the minigame starts. Three players have to avoid being sucked in the core so they can get more coins while the other player in the Bowser Suit controls the quicksand and gets coins automatically. If one of the players get sucked into the core, that player won't be able to get any more coins and they keep the amount collected.

In the Mini-Game Coaster, the human player is part of the team of three, and must collect a certain number of coins to win; 10 for Normal; 15 for Hard. If the human player manages to collect the required coin amount, but ends up falling into the quicksand, they will still win the minigame.
