Kabob and Weave (known as Squish Kebab in the British English version) is a General minigame from Mario Party: Island Tour.
Overview[edit]
In the intro, the four players and a blue Toad all enter a factory, and stop on a metal platform. An alarm goes off, and all of the characters are startled by the middle Skewer popping out of the wall. The blue Toad is knocked away while all the players dodge, and the minigame begins.
The players have to avoid being touched by the five Skewers in the background. If a player is touched by a Skewer, they are out. The last player left standing, or the players left standing when time runs out win.
Controls[edit]
– Move
– Jump
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – American English: "Run and jump to avoid the Skewers for as long as possible."
- Rules – British English: "Dodge the Spike Pillars for as long as possible."

Naming[edit]
The American name, "Kabob and Weave", is a combination of the food "kabob" and the boxing term "bob and weave"; the British name, "Squish Kebab", is a pun on "shish kebab".
