Drop Shot is a 1-vs.-3 minigame appearing in Super Mario Party.

Overview[edit]

A Spike periodically gives the solo player bombs, which they must racket towards the team players moving around on a fence to eliminate them within 30 seconds. If the solo player eliminates all three team players before time runs out, the solo player wins; otherwise, the team players win.

On Challenge Road, this is the tenth challenge of Chestnut Forest and the 20th challenge overall. In the normal challenge, the player is a member of the three-player team and must not get hit, while in the Master Challenge, the player is a solo player and must beat the rivals.

Controls[edit]

Solo Side[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move cursor
  • Single Joy-Con Right Button – Swing racket

Team Side[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move

In-game text[edit]

  • Hit the bomb serves at the defending team!
  • The defending team wins, even if only one of them is left on the fence!

Naming[edit]

The minigame's name is based on a tennis and badminton term that refers to a shot hit softly so it drops abruptly to the ground barely going over the net.
