Lava or Leave 'Em is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 8.
Overview[edit]
During the introduction, a volcano erupts as the player characters are walking in a field, then they rush to jump onto a nearby rock, which becomes surrounded by lava.
A Lava Bubble falls on the rock when the minigame starts, and players try to avoid it. The Lava Bubble divides into smaller entities repeatedly as the minigame progresses. If a player is jumped on, they are briefly stunned and slowed down. Any players who touch the lava or a Lava Bubble are eliminated. Either the last player remaining or any player remaining when time is up wins, though if all players are eliminated, the minigame is a tie.
The ending shows winning players doing their victory poses on the burnt field.
