Memory Match is a 1-Player minigame that appears in Mario Party.

Overview[edit]

Nine panels are on the ground, each marked with a question mark hiding the object image. The objective of the minigame is to match all four pairs of pictures within 45 seconds. The player must hip-drop to flip one of the panels to reveal the image. If the player successfully matches two panels, the player receives two Coins and does a winning pose. However, if the player hip-drops two different panels, both of the panels flip back after a few seconds. Matching objects include a red mushroom, a green mushroom, a Fire Flower, and a green Koopa Shell. The remaining panel contains a Bowser icon that stuns the player temporarily if they hip-drop it. If the player successfully matches four pairs of tiles before time runs out, the player wins ten Coins. If the player matches three pairs or fewer, the player receives the total number of Coins from pairing up two of the images. This is one of the rare 1-Player minigames where the player does not lose five Coins if they lose.

The minigame can be purchased from the Mini-Game House for 50 Coins.
