Template:Minigame-infobox Smash Compactor is a Free-For-All minigame in Mario Party 9. The minigame's name is a pun on "trash compactor".
Introduction
The intro sequence features the four competitors on a platform. They then fall into four holes in the ground as the compactor falls to the ground. The players then emerge from the holes as the game begins.
Gameplay
The object of the game is to reach a glowing opening in the ground before the opponents do. Each round, there will be one less glowing hole than there are players. Once the allotted time to reach a safe zone is up, whichever player who has not found one will be squished by the compactor and eliminated. The last player remaining wins.

Trivia
- Sometimes a Dry Bones will be on top of the compactor.
- The way competitors are flattened and float up when they lose is very similar to when they are squashed by the single player's ball in the Mario Party 5 minigame, Flatiator.
- This is likely to be inspired from the game Musical Chairs, as both have similar rules.
