Grin and Bar It is an 8-Player minigame in Mario Party 7.
Introduction[edit]
The minigame starts out with all eight characters running onto a stage after a curtain opening. The characters stop on individual spots, next to their teammates, and jump over a large, bent metal bar being rotated by Ukikis.
Gameplay[edit]
The players need to jump over the bent metal bar as it rotates. If the bar hits a player, they are eliminated. As the game progresses, the bar rotates faster and faster. The team with one or both members left standing wins. The game ends in a tie if all teams hit the bar.
Ending[edit]
The winners stand on the middle of the podium and do their winning animations, while the losers do their losing animations in front of the podium.
Controls[edit]
