Cut from the Team
Template:Minigame-infobox Cut from the Team is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 8. Its name is from the expression "cut from the team", which is when someone is removed from a team.
Introduction
The four players find themselves on a mountain, with a little stand and ten wires connected to it.
Gameplay
This is a luck-based minigame. There are ten wires, of which three are live wires, and seven are dead. The players will go one by one on to the stand (which has a spring in it), snipping one wire at time. Once they cut it, they will duck. If the wire is dead, they are safe and they will go back to the end of the line. If the wire is live, the spring will launch them off the platform, kicking them out of the minigame. The game will then continue with the rest. When three players are eliminated, the last one remaining will win.
Ending
The winner will do his or her victory pose while the screen slowly zooms out.
