Tug o' War
Template:Minigame-infobox Tug o' War is a 1-vs-3 minigame found in Mario Party and the minigame compilation title, Mario Party: The Top 100. It is based on the real-life game, Tug of War.
Gameplay
The player in the Bowser Suit has to pull the rope alone while the three players have to pull the rope together. The team who rotates the slowest will fall into a Piranha Plant's mouth.
In Mario Party, if the three players lose, the player in the Bowser Suit wins five coins from each player; if the three players win, they each get five coins from the player in the Bowser Suit.
This minigame has a Bowser variation, sometimes triggered from a Bowser Space. Here, whoever loses the minigame loses coins. If a draw occurs then everyone loses coins.
In Mini-Game Island, the player is the solo player in the Bowser Suit and must make the three players fall into the Piranha Plant's mouth.
