Archer-ival is a 1-vs-3 minigame in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party Superstars. Its name is a pun on the term "archrival."

Overview

The solo player has a bow and arrow and uses it to try and hit the three team players, each trapped in slow-moving panels, while the other side tries to avoid the arrows.[1] The solo player can earn extra coins by also hitting the other pictures: one coin from the Boo panel, two from the Toad panel, and three from the Baby Bowser panel. The panels can block the path, making them a still target for the solo player. The solo player wins if they remove all three opponents' pictures. The team players win if at least one of them remains for 30 seconds. In Mini-Game Coaster, the human player is always on the solo side, and the minigame can be bought from Woody for 150 coins.

Archer-ival has differences in Mario Party Superstars.[2] Toad is replaced by Goomba, and Baby Bowser is replaced by Bowser Jr. The panels no longer provide additional coins. Players make a sound each time they do a particular action, occurring if the solo player sets or shoots an arrow or the team players when moving. If the team wins, any remaining members appear from behind the brick wall, holding their respective panels, and do their victory animation as the solo player does their losing animation.

Furthermore, Mario Party Superstars includes the minigame in Stage 1 and Stage 4 of the Trio Challenge in Mt. Minigames. In Stage 1, human players compete against one CPU opponent at Normal difficulty, and the rank requirements are 81–90 seconds for Rank A; 61–80 seconds for Rank B; 41–60 seconds for Rank C; and 30–40 for Rank D. Stage 4 pits a solo human player against three CPU opponents at Normal difficulty, and the rank requirements are different: Rank A for hitting all targets with more than 11 seconds left; Rank B by winning with over 11 seconds left but with targets remaining; Rank C with 5–10 seconds left; and Rank D for 1–4 seconds left.
