Overview[edit]

Gameplay of Buried Treasure in Mario Party.
Gameplay of Buried Treasure

In the introduction, all of the players are seen digging to their respective starting positions.

Players dig through dirt deep into the earth, trying to locate a buried Treasure Chest within 60 seconds,[1] more specifically in a random spot in a "+"-shaped region in the middle of the screen.[2] The rocks at the top and bottom require more effort to dig through. There are hidden arrows that hint to where the Treasure Chest is. The first player to uncover the Treasure Chest wins. If no one does so before time runs out, the end result is a draw.

Controls[edit]
