Go-go Pogo is a single-player minigame found in Mario Party Advance.

Introduction

The player and any Piranha Plants pop out of the Warp Pipes while Podoboos pop out of lava before the minigame starts.

Gameplay

The player must attempt to reach the goal line at the end by using a pogo stick. They have to avoid hazards such as falling in the lava, getting bitten by Piranha Plants that pop out from pipes, and getting hit by Podoboos that pop out from the lava. If the player touches one of the hazards, they lose.

The player can tell if a Piranha Plant is going to come out of its pipe or not. If a Piranha Plant pokes the tip of its lips out and gnaws, it comes out of its pipe. If the Piranha Plant does not gnaw, it stays in its pipe. Additionally, Piranha Plants appear only in green pipes.

In Shroom City and Mini-Game Attack, the player is given 60 seconds to reach the end of the course. If time runs out, the player loses. The course is much shorter in Shroom City, whereas Mini-Game Attack uses the longer course that is also used in Play Land.
