Template:Minigame-infobox Pogo-a-Go-Go is a 1-vs-3 minigame that is found during the events of Mario Party 7. Its name uses the term "A-Go-Go" (from the French À gogo, meaning "galore") commonly used in pop culture, and which is often traced back to Whisky a Go Go, a Hollywood nightclub that took its name from the Go-go dancing it featured.

Introduction

The minigame takes place in the sky; as the background appears to have a city occupied with buildings below the clouds. The playfield consists of four rockets installed at each side, supporting the playfield. On the playfield, it has fourteen holes that have been covered up for now.

In the scene, the camera approaches to the playfield while in the clouds. During that scene, the three helicopter vehicles holding a single player each approaches onto the playfield. Each of the vehicles drops the player onto the playfield at each side equally. Shortly after that, it reveals that the players appear to have pogo sticks being used. The solo player appears to be in the core of the playfield. The holes open up as the minigame starts.

Gameplay

The solo player's objective is to make the three players fall in the holes within the limit of thirty seconds. The player can control the rocket’s movements either clockwise or counter-clockwise to make the remaining players fall in the holes.

The three player's objective is to simply avoid going in the holes that leading to falling down from the sky. In addition of avoiding them, holes have normally different sizes; making the gameplay challenging. The players use the pogo stick to move around the playfield while it rotates, making movement equally difficult for the solo player to win.

If the solo player successfully makes the three players fall into the holes before the thirty seconds are up, the solo player wins.

If the three players remain on the playfield even if there is only one or two players remaining on the playfield, they win.

Trivia

  • Mushroom City makes a brief cameo appearance in the background scene on this minigame.
