Log Jam is a 2-vs-2 minigame found in Mario Party 3.

Overview

Each team has a player who places a log while the other tries to chop it, with both having to press the same button, one after the other. If a player on a team does not press the correct button, their side is slowed briefly. The team that has put down and chopped more logs wins, but if they end with the same number, it is a draw.
