Toad in the Box (stylized as TOAD in the Box) is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 2.

Overview

The minigame opens with the players falling into scene, then the blocks descending and hovering above their heads.

During gameplay, players compete to get a Toad symbol on a spinning block. Each time a player achieves this, the platform beneath them grows taller, and the block spins faster. Rolling a non-Toad symbol slows the player down. Rolling a Piranha Plant has the block hit the character once, wasting about one second. Rolling a Chain Chomp has the block hit the character twice, wasting about two seconds. Rolling a Bowser symbol has Baby Bowser come out of the block and squash the character flat, wasting about three seconds. The first player to roll a Toad symbol five times is the winner. If nobody does so after five minutes, the game ends in a draw.

The minigame title is a play on jack-in-the-box.

It costs 150 Coins to buy the minigame from Woody.
