Hexagon Heat is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party: The Top 100. It is based on Mushroom Mix-Up from Mario Party. It costs 50 Coins to buy the minigame from Woody in Mario Party 2.
Overview[edit]
The players stand on the white hexagon in the center of a pit of lava. The other six hexagon platforms then show up and join around it, and the minigame begins.
The goal of the game is to be the last one standing. When Toad raises a colored flag, all the players must go to the hexagons with the same color; all the other hexagons slowly sink into the lava, which eliminates players when touched. Players can jump on their opponents to slow them down, or ground-pound them to squish them flat and stop them altogether, at the risk of being eliminated themselves. As the minigame progresses, the hexagons fall and rise faster. The hexagons lower and rise at increasing speeds as gameplay continues. Unlike in Mushroom Mix-Up, the hexagons lack the Mushroom Platforms' polka-dot patterns from that minigame.
The music speeds up as the minigame progresses, a trait that does not carry over to the Mario Party: The Top 100 version.
In Mario Party: The Top 100, the order of the colors of the hexagons (referred to as panels in this game) has been changed, and in addition, there are shapes imprinted on them to assist with color blind players. Additionally, players no longer recoil from ground-pounding other players.
