Candlelight Flight is a 1-vs-3 minigame in Mario Party 4.
Overview[edit]
The setting is a dark room, lit by dim chandeliers, with the solo player holding a candle and the members of the team each holding a water gun. The goal for the team is to squirt water at the solo player's candle to put it out, ideally by surrounding this player, since the action of squirting the gun temporarily immobilizes the team member. The solo player's goal is to move unpredictably and avoid the water from the water guns. The room is dark except for the solo player's candle and the candles on the chandeliers, making it rather hard for the team players to figure out their characters' positions in the room; hitting the solo player also darkens the room, as the fire on the candle gets smaller with each hit. Despite that, the water from the team players' squirt guns and the dust particle effects from player movement are visible in the darkness. It takes five squirts to snuff the candle out. If the team fails at extinguishing the solo player's candle within the time limit, the solo player wins. Otherwise, the team wins.
