- This article is about the minigame from Mario Party. For the microgame of the same name from WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, see Shell Game (microgame).
Template:Minigame-infobox Shell Game is a 1-player mini-game found in Mario Party. Its name alludes to the shell game, upon which this game is based. This mini-game shares its setting with Knock Block Tower, taking place on top of a castle tower.
Introduction
Four Koopa Troopas open their treasure chests. A pile of coins fly into the chest farthest to the left. The chests close and the Koopas will get into their shells and shuffle around.
Gameplay
The object of this mini-game is to watch the Koopa Troopa with the Treasure Chest and pick the same one after the shells have shuffled. There are a total of four Koopa Troopas, each one identical to each other. If the player picks the wrong Koopa Troopa, five coins are lost as a result from losing the mini-game. The game rewards the player ten coins if the mini-game is won.
The player is able to jump, punch and Hip Drop in this mini-game. None of these moves are of use when interacting with the shells.
Ending
If the player picks the right shell, the coins fly toward them and they do a winning pose. If not, the correct Koopa will open its chest with the coins falling off of the tower. The player slumps in disappointment.
