Tug o' War

From the Super Mario Wiki

Tug o' War is a 1-vs-3 mini-game that is found during the events in Mario Party.

[edit] Gameplay

The player in the Bowser Suit has to pull the rope alone while the 3 players have to pull the rope together. If the 3 players lose, the player in the Bowser Suit wins 5 coins from each player; if the 3 players win, they get 5 coins each from the player in the Bowser Suit.

This mini-game is easily the most infamous mini-game in Mario Party, since it requires the player to rotate the Control Stick very quickly, and even then, the player is very likely to lose when playing against CPU players (even on the easiest skill level).

[edit] Trivia

• This mini-game is notorious for causing blisters in the center of the palm in serious players, due to the high speed rotation of the Control Stick that must be sustained for over 30 seconds in order to stay competitive. Because of this, no mini-game developed since has involved rotation of the Control Stick.
