The Beat Goes On
Template:Minigame-infobox The Beat Goes On is a four-player minigame found in Mario Party 3. It is set to be included in the minigame compilation title, Mario Party: The Top 100. The name of the minigame may be a reference to Sonny Bono and Cher's song of the same name.
Gameplay
The minigame starts with the Spear Guys playing four drum beats. Players take turns copying the beat the Spear Guys made, while beating another drum of their choosing after copying the beat, with the next player having to replicate the beat as well as the added drum then adding another. If a player plays an incorrect drum, the Spear Guys throw torches at them, kicking them out of the minigame. The last player remaining wins. If both lines fill up before a winner is declared, the minigame ends in a draw.
