Cast Aways is a 4-Player coin-collecting minigame in Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars.
Overview[edit]
The minigame opens with four players on an island, watching as three rows of items float by in the ocean.
During gameplay, every player has an extendable glove used for fishing, and they try to collect as many items as possible within 60 seconds, or at least 30 coins on Mini-Game Island in the original Mario Party. Individual coins, coin bags (worth five coins), and treasure chests (worth 10 coins) float by in the ocean. Players can cast their gloves to either a short, a medium, or a long distance, each reaching a different row, and reel back, even if they did not get an item. Players acquire coins only by reeling them at them directly, so if time runs out while a player is reeling an item, they do not obtain it.
Cast Aways does not end with winning and losing players, like other coin-collecting minigames, and all players get to keep the coins they have obtained.
Cast Aways costs 250 coins to buy at the Mini-Game House.

Notes[edit]
- This minigame's background is reused for Flash Forward in Mario Party Superstars.
- This minigame and Deep Sea Divers are two of the minigames infamous for giving players injuries on their hands, though to a lesser extent than Paddle Battle, Pedal Power, and Tug o' War. The Mario Party Superstars version has a disclaimer on the rules screen that warns players not to turn the control stick with their palms to avoid hand injury and stick damage. A similar warning that gives the same advice is shown in the Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Classics re-release of Mario Party.
