Cannonball Fun is a 4-player minigame in Mario Party 6. The name is a reference to Cannonball Run, the name of several related movies.

The only difference between the day and night version of this minigame are the decorations on the side of the arena; during the day, they are suns; at night, they are partially lit up to appear as moons.

Introduction

The player flies around the arena in their hovercraft and comes to a stop before the camera zooms to the angle seen in the minigame and the screen splits in four.

Gameplay

Players pilot hovercrafts around an arena, firing cannonballs at each other. When a player hits an opponent, that player earns a point. If a player is hit, that player is stunned for a moment. The first player to obtain five points wins.
