Hot Cross Blocks is a 4-Player minigame found in Super Mario Party Jamboree. The name is a pun on "hot cross buns."[1]

Introduction[edit]

The camera pans from the exit door to the players, who all strike a fighting stance one by one. The camera then pans to a bird's-eye view.

Gameplay[edit]

The players need to select one of the four block patterns that appear on the right of the screen to traverse over lava. If two or more players pick the same block pattern, neither of them gets to place it. The same will happen if a player selects a block pattern that does not connect to their block path; though the block pattern will still be applied, it will sink immediately after. The first player(s) to make it to the other side win(s). The minigame ends immediately once any player finishes; players who have not finished are ranked based on how far away they were from the goal. If no player makes it to the goal within five minutes, the minigame will end in a tie.

Ending[edit]

The players are standing at the exit door, where any players who reached the end perform their winning animations, while the losing players do their losing animations behind them.

Controls[edit]

  • Single Joy-Con Top Button / Single Joy-Con Right Button / Single Joy-Con Left Button / Single Joy-Con Bottom Button – Select pattern

In-game text[edit]

Choose block patterns to build a path across the lava. If you choose the same block pattern as someone else, no one gets it! Blocks that don't connect will sink.
