Be My Chum!
Template:Minigame-infobox Be My Chum! is a 1-vs.-3 microphone minigame in Mario Party 7. This mini-game is a bit similar to Sink or Swim from Mario Party 6 with some changes being that the solo player uses the microphone to call commands for enemies to attack the other players instead of moving and dropping mines on them. And also, players do not have limited air.
Gameplay
The solo player can call out commands by speaking into the microphone. The Commands are: Cheep Cheep, Sushi, Blooper, and Lakitu (Lakitus will drop Spinies). If the solo player says "Goomba", a Goomba in the background will jump, but this does not affect gameplay. The other three players swim around in the water, using the 
to avoid the attacks.
For the solo player to be victorious, they must use the commands and eliminate the other three players. For the three players to win, they must hold out for 30 seconds.
