Dust Buddies (Super Mario Party)

Template:Minigame-infobox Dust Buddies is a 1 vs. 3 minigame appearing in Super Mario Party. Its name is shared with an earlier 4-player and duel minigame from Mario Party DS. The name is a pun on the term "dust bunnies"

Gameplay

The minigame is set in a dusty room. Both the solo player and the rivals have thirty seconds to use their respective vacuum cleaners to vacuum up all of the dust in the room. While the solo player has their own vacuum cleaner, the team of three shares one vacuum cleaner with three hoses attached, thus they must coordinate to move about the room. Once all of the dust is vacuumed or after time is up, two vacuum bags – one for the solo player and one for the rivals – fall down to indicate how much dust each vacuumed, and the group with the most dust vacuumed wins.

On the Challenge Road, this is the eighth challenge of Shell Street and the eighth challenge overall. For the normal challenge, the player plays as the solo and must beat the rival team, while in the Master Challenge the player is a member of the 3-player team and must beat the solo player.
