'''Booksquirm''' is a | '''Booksquirm''' is a four-player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' and included as a Free-for-All minigame in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. The minigame's name is a pun on the word "bookworm", a term used to describe a person who reads a lot of books. | ||

A book is shown opening, then the four players | A book is shown opening, then the four players jump onto the page. The words in the book are arranged in incomprehensible structures, comparable to [[wikipedia:Lorem ipsum|lorem ipsum]] text. | ||

Players can share a hole. As time goes on, the pages will turn much faster, and the number of holes in each page will decrease. This process continues until one character is left standing. In ''Mario Party 4'', if the remaining players get flattened at the same time, the game is a draw; this is only the case in ''The Top 100'' if all four players are flattened simultaneously. | ||

In ''Mario Party | In ''Mario Party 4'', there is also an unlockable version of Booksquirm, called '''Challenge Booksquirm''', which can be earned by playing the original Booksquirm in a party, and can then be selected in the Extra Room. It challenges players to see how many pages they can last until their character is squashed. If the player manages to surpass 15 pages, a Goomba Plate is placed in the [[Present Room|Minigame Room]]. | ||
Challenge Booksquirm also ends after the player manages to pass through 99 pages.<ref>"Nahoc". (December 24, 2012). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNy2KXEkLUg "[TAS] Booksquirm - 99 Pages (Mario Party 4)"]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved January 14, 2016.</ref> | |||
