Mario Medley is a 4-Player minigame from Mario Party 4. The minigame is a race set in a swimming pool. If the player manages to reach the goal in a minute or less, they will unlock a Bowser plate in the Present Room.
Overview[edit]
The players prepare to dive. At the "START!" signal, Toad fires his popgun, and the players jump into the water.
The race consists of three laps, each lap having a different type of stroke. The goal is to complete the three laps the fastest. However, the player must be careful, for their character has a stamina meter that indicates how tired their swimmer is. The faster they swim, the faster their stamina depletes. If it empties all the way, their character suffers a severe speed drop. The trick is to balance speed and stamina. If no one completes all three laps within five minutes, the minigame ends in a draw.
