Spin Off is an 8-Player minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name comes from "spin-off," which is where another character from a TV show, book, or game stars in their own.

Gameplay

Two characters on each team are controlling a rotating cylinder with halves of pictures of enemies from the Super Mario franchise (a Goomba, Bob-omb, Thwomp, Whomp, and Chain Chomp). Each player on a team controls one half of the rotating pictures. When a player character presses the lever to stop a slot, the slot makes one complete rotation before stopping. The first team to form three different pictures achieves victory. This is the only minigame in Mario Party 7 to use the characters' main victory animations from the previous installments. Weirdly, the characters don’t say there winning

Ending

The rotating cylinder controller sticks go back into the machine and the characters do their Mario Party 6 winning animation.

Controls

  • L Button / R Button – Stop / Start

In-game text

==Trivia When the characters win, they don’t say their winning voice line, instead they say “yes”. The Mario Party 6 winning animations and the characters only saying “yes” when they win, we’re probably placeholders from earlier in development, but Nintendo probably forgot to implement the Mario Party 7 winning animations and the characters’ winning voice lines for the final game.
