Daft Rafts is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 6.

Introduction[edit]

The players are standing on a bridge as the river flows beneath them, with the platforms on it. The bridge then collapses, and the players fall onto the beginning platform.

Gameplay[edit]

The object of the minigame is to jump onto the many different rafts to avoid falling. If a player falls in the water or over the waterfall or touches an enemy, they are eliminated. Players who can make it to the last raft, being pulled by a Koopa Troopa in an aquatic vehicle, are declared winners. The last raft appears early if only one player remains. If all the players get eliminated, the minigame ends in a tie.

The only change between day and night is the enemies that appear on the rafts. During the day, Spinies are the obstacles, and at night, Podoboos are.

Ending[edit]

The final platform comes to a stop at the top of the waterfall, with winning players' animations playing as the Koopa drives away.

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move
  • A Button – Jump

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Jump onto the floating platforms, but be careful not to fall into the raging river. Whoever reaches the goal first wins!"
  • Advice"Don't stay on a platform too long or you'll go over the waterfall!"
