Long Claw of the Law
Template:Minigame-infobox Long Claw of the Law (alternately, The Long Claw of the Law) is a four-player minigame from Mario Party 4. Its name is a pun on the phrase "Long arm of the law".
Gameplay
The minigame starts with each character controlling an extendable claw. A "Wanted!" poster is seen, which a picture of one of the following: Goomba, Bob-omb, Chain Chomp, Boo, Thwomp, or Shy Guy. Players must use their claw to grab three of the type of enemy seen on the Wanted! poster, who are hiding in various windows throughout the setting. The windows will open and close, so players will need to time their grab. Although the player only needs to capture one type of enemy, all four appear in the game. If the player attempts to grab the wrong type of enemy, the window will slam shut immediately.
The first player to grab three of the right enemy wins.
