Long Claw of the Law is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 4.

Overview[edit]

A "Wanted!" poster depicting either a Goomba, a Bob-omb, a Chain Chomp, a Boo, a Thwomp, or a Shy Guy is shown. Players each use a claw-like contraption, trying to catch three of the same enemy from openings behind doors that open and close repeatedly. Although players need to capture only one type of enemy, four of the six appear in the minigame. If the wrong enemy is grabbed, the door closes instantly. The first player to fulfill the objective wins. If no one does so on time, the minigame ends in a draw.

Controls[edit]

  • R Button – Rotate right
  • L Button – Rotate left
  • Control Stick – Move up and down
  • A Button – Catch character

In-game text[edit]
