Hexagon Heat

Template:Minigame-infobox Hexagon Heat is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party: The Top 100.

Introduction

The players stand on the white hexagon in the center of a pit of magma. The other six hexagons then show up and join around it, and the minigame begins.

Gameplay

When Toad raises a colored flag, all the players must go to the hexagon tile with the same color; all the other hexagon tiles slowly sink into the lava. Players can also jump on their opponents to slow them down, or ground-pound them to squish them flat and stop them altogether, at the risk of being eliminated themselves. As the game progresses, the hexagons fall and rise faster. The last player standing wins.

The hexagons' order is always as follows, from top left to bottom right: yellow, red, cyan, white (where the players start), green, blue, pink.

In Mario Party: The Top 100, the order of the colors of the hexagons has been changed, and in addition, there are shapes imprinted on them. This is the hexagons' order in this game, from top left to bottom right: blue vertical rectangle, green triangle, pink square, white circle (where the players start), cyan diamond, yellow upside-down triangle, red horizontal rectangle. Additionally, players no longer recoil from ground-pounding other players.

The music speeds up as the minigame progresses, a trait that does not carry over to the Mario Party: The Top 100 version.
