Flashfright is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party 7.
Gameplay[edit]
The intro showcases the team reaching a courtyard, being chased by the solo player as the gate closes.
The game takes place at night where the courtyard is decorated by several Shy Guy statues and fountains. The solo player runs around with a flashlight, trying to catch the team players, who must use their environment to avoid capture. Players caught in the light are eliminated, with a Fly Guy appearing to carry them off. If any of the team players manage to avoid getting caught for 30 seconds, they win. The solo player wins if they manage to catch all of the team players.
The solo player does their winning animation as the team players are removed by Fly Guys. If the team wins, the solo player exits the courtyard after looking around, while the team players perform their winning animations.
