Hand, Line and Sinker is a 1-vs-3 minigame in Mario Party 3.
Overview
The solo player uses the Magic Hand, a glove attached to a fishing rod, to try and catch the three team players, each dressed like fish. If every team player is caught, the solo player wins, but if at least one team player is left at the end, the team wins.
The minigame appears briefly in volume 27 of Super Mario-kun. Mario catches Peach, then Luigi as well as Yoshi, who is biting Luigi. The team players are in fish costumes, consistent with their portrayal in-game.
The minigame title is a play on the phrase "hook, line, and sinker."

Notes
- There is a glitch where the team players win if the solo player reels the last team player in the final second. The solo player performs their losing animation in such an event, then becomes idle, and a close-up of the pool is shown.
