Crowd Cover is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 3.

Overview

The minigame opens with several Boos, Toads, or Bob-ombs on a large sheet of paper.

Both players observe the crowd in front of them and choose from three smaller pictures matching the large drawing, as the crowd begins moving off of the paper. The player ends the instant the player picks the incorrect drawing, while the other player wins.

Crowd Cover ends with the winner and loser doing their respective animations.

The minigame title is a play on the phrase "cloud cover."
