Hot Rope Jump is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party, Mario Party 2, and Mario Party Superstars.
OverviewEdit
The minigame starts with Lava Bubbles forming a rope formation. Characters must then jump over the rope as it swings around them. The height of the jump depends on how long the player holds down 
or 
. Once five jumps are reached in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party Superstars, the Lava Bubbles turn from blue to orange. The Lava Bubbles move faster and faster as the minigame goes by. In Mario Party, the minigame ends in a "Miss!" if one player touches the Lava Bubble rope, making them lose coins in Party Mode. However, if the four players reach 20 jumps, they all win the minigame. In Mario Party 2 and Superstars, the last player standing wins. In Mario Party 2, the counter stops counting after 99 jumps, and if all the players are burned, the minigame ends in a draw; in Superstars, this is the case only if all four players are burned simultaneously.
On Mini-Game Island in Mario Party, the player must jump over the rope 40 times to clear the minigame, a rule that is not normally implemented in other modes. Similarly, in Mario Party 2, while playing the Mini-Game Coaster mode, the player has to jump a total of 50 times to pass the minigame.
In Mario Party 2, the game freezes after 1,000 jumps.[1]
In Mario Party Superstars, the Lava Bubbles are designed like in previous Mario Party installments, and the minigame ends if two or more players reach 99 jumps. Additionally, an "Endless" mode is available in Free Play; as the name implies, it continues until everyone is burned or until after 9,999 jumps, and it saves records.
In Mario Party, the minigame can be purchased from the Mini-Game House for 300 coins when it is available for purchase. In Mario Party 2, it can be purchased from Woody for 50 coins.

NotesEdit
- In Mario Party, because the song "Full of Danger" is used in the Mini-Game Island version of this minigame instead of the usual "Let's Limbo," this is one of the two minigames in the Mario Party series to have a version that has a different music track in the same game, the other one being What Goes Up... in Mario Party 6, where the music track depends on the time of day.
- This is one of two minigames in the original Mario Party to feature losing text, the other being Hot Bob-omb.
