Picking Panic is a 2-vs-2 minigame found in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Superstars.

Gameplay

Teams in their hanging ropes swing back and forth, and the minigame starts. One player on the team has to grab the cherries dropped by an Ukiki and throw them to the other player, who then puts the cherries in the basket to earn points. The size of the cherries affects how far they fly when thrown. The team that has more points at the end of the minigame wins. If both teams get the same score, the minigame ends in a draw.

Ending
