Train in Pain is a Team minigame appearing in Super Mario Party. Its name may be a play on the title of the 1979 song "Train in Vain" by English punk rock band The Clash.
Introduction[edit]
Both teams are on trains opposite of each other. While the trains are traveling, both teams perform punches and miss. After the trains reach the station, the minigame starts.
Gameplay[edit]
The players are in small trains and get dropped into a square arena. Each player, depending on the allies they have on their party (in minigame mode, each player has three allies), has a few allies trailing them. Players must punch the allies off the trains. To defeat a rival, the player must punch the rival from behind; otherwise, this will stun the rival. Players can also punch allies off their teammates.
On Challenge Road, this is the final minigame and serves as the rival fight against Bowser (or Mario instead should the player play as Bowser or anyone else in the bottom row of the character roster). In the normal challenge, both the player and opponent have two allies each. In the Master Challenge, the player is on their own, meaning one hit defeats them.
Controls[edit]
– Move
– Punch
In-game text[edit]
- "Punch the rival cabooses!"
