Template:Minigame-infobox The Final Countdown is a battle minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name comes from "The Final Countdown", a song by the 1980's hard rock group Europe.
Introduction
The panels start at two, then count down to zero and open. They then reset to random numbers as the players head in from the sides and leap onto the platform.
Gameplay
The playing field is a platform with nine panels. There is a number on each of the panels (1-9), and the numbers on each panel decrease by one after a certain time period. If the number on a panel ever falls to zero, the panel gives way, eliminating any player on it from the game, then automatically resets to a random number between one and nine. (Thus, the players must jump to panels with a higher number on them to prevent elimination.) Competitors are allowed to punch and kick the opposition to try and force them either off the platform entirely or into a hole. Additionally, the rate at which the countdown occurs speeds up the longer the game goes on.
The last player standing on the number panels wins the minigame. If all players fall simultaneously, a random winner is decided.
Ending
Fly Guys drop the other three players onto the platform. The winner then performs a victory pose.
