Deep Sea Divers is a 2-vs-2 Coin-collecting minigame in Mario Party.
Overview[edit]
Deep Sea Divers is similar to Treasure Divers, but it is done in a 2-vs-2 format. One player on each team swims deep underwater, gets a Treasure Chest, and returns to the surface with it. Meanwhile, the other player on a team moves the boat to help reel their teammate back. If the player underwater is not reeled successfully, they drop the chest. The largest Treasure Chest, which is at the very bottom, contains 10 Coins and requires both players on a team to reel it in.
Deep Sea Divers costs 300 Coins to buy at the Mini-Game House when it becomes available.

Notes[edit]
- This minigame and Cast Aways are two of the minigames infamous for giving players injuries on their hands, though to a lesser extent than Pedal Power, Paddle Battle, and Tug o' War. The Mario Party Superstars version has a disclaimer on the rules screen that warns players not to turn the 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.
