A similar minigame using the same pun appears in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', called [[Arch Rivals]].
==Overview==
The solo player has a bow and arrow and uses it to try and hit the three team players, each trapped in slow-moving panels, while the other side tries to avoid the arrows.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=0:01|url=youtu.be/rOCJTuJPd-o?feature=shared&t=1|title=''Mario Party 2'' - Archer-ival|date=June 20, 2016|author=NintendoMovies|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 3, 2025}}</ref> The solo player can earn extra [[coin]]s by also hitting the other pictures: one coin from the [[Boo]] panel, two from the [[Toad]] panel, and three from the [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] panel. The panels can block the path, making them a still target for the solo player. The solo player wins if they remove all three opponents' pictures. The team players win if at least one of them remains for 30 seconds. In [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the human player is always on the solo side, and the minigame can be bought from [[Woody]] for 150 coins.

The main objective for the player with the bow and arrow is to shoot the characters' panels. The team players' main objective is to dodge the arrows shot by the solo character. In ''Mario Party 2'', the solo player can also earn some extra [[coin]]s by hitting the other pictures thrown in as well. The [[Boo]] panel gives one coin, the [[Toad]] panel gives two coins, and the [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] panel gives three coins. Each panel moves at a slow pace, yet it is enough to avoid an arrow being shot directly at it. The non-playable panels and other characters' panels, though, can block the path, causing them to be a still target for the solo character. The solo player has unlimited arrows. The solo player wins if they remove all three opponents' pictures. The team players win if at least one of them remains for 30 seconds.


In the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the human player plays against the team of three.
Furthermore, ''Mario Party Superstars'' includes the minigame in Stage 1 and Stage 4 of the [[Mt. Minigames#Trio Challenge|Trio Challenge]] in [[Mt. Minigames]]. In Stage 1, human players compete against one CPU opponent at Normal difficulty, and the rank requirements are 81–90 seconds for Rank A; 61–80 seconds for Rank B; 41–60 seconds for Rank C; and 30–40 for Rank D. Stage 4 pits a solo human player against three CPU opponents at Normal difficulty, and the rank requirements are different: Rank A for hitting all targets with more than 11 seconds left; Rank B by winning with over 11 seconds left but with targets remaining; Rank C with 5–10 seconds left; and Rank D for 1–4 seconds left.
 
In ''Mario Party Superstars'', Toad is replaced by [[Goomba]], and Baby Bowser is replaced by [[Bowser Jr.]], though none of the non-player panels give additional coins. Additionally, the solo player vocalizes each time they set or shoot an arrow, as do the team players each time they move, and shooting an arrow makes a more realistic sound. Also, if the team wins, the remaining member(s) from the team appear(s) from behind the brick wall, holding their respective panels, and celebrate(s) while the solo player groans in disappointment.
 
In ''Mario Party 2'', the minigame can be purchased from [[Woody]] for 150 coins.
 
===Trio Challenge===
In ''Mario Party Superstars'', this minigame is available in Stage 1 and Stage 4 of the [[Mt. Minigames#Trio Challenge|Trio Challenge]] in [[Mt. Minigames]].
 
In Stage 1, human players play as a team against a Normal CPU solo opponent, and the rank requirements are:
* A: 81–90 seconds (combined total time survived of all three team members)
* B: 61–80 seconds
* C: 41–60 seconds
* D: 30–40 seconds
 
In Stage 4, a single human player plays against Normal CPU opponents, and the rank requirements are:
* A: Hit all targets with more than 11 seconds left

Archer-ival is a 1-vs-3 minigame in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party Superstars. Its name is a pun on the term "archrival."

Overview

The solo player has a bow and arrow and uses it to try and hit the three team players, each trapped in slow-moving panels, while the other side tries to avoid the arrows.[1] The solo player can earn extra coins by also hitting the other pictures: one coin from the Boo panel, two from the Toad panel, and three from the Baby Bowser panel. The panels can block the path, making them a still target for the solo player. The solo player wins if they remove all three opponents' pictures. The team players win if at least one of them remains for 30 seconds. In Mini-Game Coaster, the human player is always on the solo side, and the minigame can be bought from Woody for 150 coins.

Archer-ival has differences in Mario Party Superstars.[2] Toad is replaced by Goomba, and Baby Bowser is replaced by Bowser Jr. The panels no longer provide additional coins. Players make a sound each time they do a particular action, occurring if the solo player sets or shoots an arrow or the team players when moving. If the team wins, any remaining members appear from behind the brick wall, holding their respective panels, and do their victory animation as the solo player does their losing animation.

Furthermore, Mario Party Superstars includes the minigame in Stage 1 and Stage 4 of the Trio Challenge in Mt. Minigames. In Stage 1, human players compete against one CPU opponent at Normal difficulty, and the rank requirements are 81–90 seconds for Rank A; 61–80 seconds for Rank B; 41–60 seconds for Rank C; and 30–40 for Rank D. Stage 4 pits a solo human player against three CPU opponents at Normal difficulty, and the rank requirements are different: Rank A for hitting all targets with more than 11 seconds left; Rank B by winning with over 11 seconds left but with targets remaining; Rank C with 5–10 seconds left; and Rank D for 1–4 seconds left.
