Don't Look

Template:Minigame-infobox Don't Look is a Free-for-All minigame found in Mario Party 9 and Mario Party: The Top 100. This is the only minigame in Mario Party 9 with no music.

Introduction

The players are seen standing on the floor. They move while three groups of arrows appear.

Gameplay

There are 10 rounds. During each round, blue arrows pointing in different directions appear. The objective is to make the character look in the direction that the arrows are not pointing at the moment. There is only one arrow in the first two rounds, two arrows in the next four rounds, and three arrows in the last four rounds. With each passing round, there is less and less time for the player to think of where to make the character look. The player will lose the round if they look in the wrong direction or run out of time. The player who beats the most rounds wins.

Trivia

• Toad, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, and Magikoopa stand on stools when participating in this minigame, due to being short. However, Koopa Troopa and Magikoopa stand on short stools, while Toad and Shy Guy stand on tall stools, since Koopa Troopa and Magikoopa are taller than Toad and Shy Guy. Toad and Shy Guy also stand on stools in Pizza Me, Mario. The stools are not needed in Mario Party: The Top 100 because all 4 characters are not playable.
