Etch 'n' Catch is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Superstars.
Overview[edit]
Both players on a team have crayons, which they both try to draw a circle around a moving Toad picture on their side, as the lines drawn by crayons disappear after some time. When both team players draw around a Toad, he is freed, earning the team a point. The team that draws around five Toad pictures first wins, though if neither of them do within the time limit, the side that circled the most Toads wins. If both teams rescue the same number in Mario Party 3, it is a draw, but in Mario Party Superstars, a draw occurs only if neither team has circled any Toads.
The title is a play on the drawing toy Etch A Sketch.
