Key-pa-Way is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party.
Overview
The gameplay of Key-pa-Way is based on the game Keep Away. The minigame requires four-way cooperation, like Running of the Bulb, so all four players either win or lose together. One player has a key, which the other players can try to obtain. If the player with the key reaches the lock, every player wins ten Coins. If either time runs out or one of the five Spike Koopas steals the key, all players lose the minigame and lose five Coins each.
Key-pa-Way costs 400 Coins to buy from the Mini-Game House when it becomes available.
Controls
