Chicken! is a Duel minigame found in Mario Party Advance.

Overview

The minigame opens with both players moving out of the way as a Thwomp slams to the ground between them.

Both players try to stay under the Thwomp for as long as they can, but they must also avoid being squished by it. Both players can tell how far the Thwomp has fallen by how large the shadow that appears in the center of the tower is. The players can attempt to fake the opponent out by walking out of the shadow and going back in. If one player flees, the other has a chance to get out to win. Victory goes to whoever is not flattened by the Thwomp or is the one who stays under longer. If both players are flattened, the match is a draw.

In the Shroom City mode, this minigame is played against Mouser when the player arrives at the third and final floor of Duel Tower.

Controls

• – Flee

Notes

• This is the only minigame in which its minigame music track plays and, by extension, the only minigame in Mario Party Advance not to share a music track with another.
  • It is also the only minigame to have an original minigame music track that is not an arrangement of any previous theme in the franchise, whereas most other minigame tracks in the game are arranged from Mario Party 3 or Mario Party 4 music.
