Mushroom Mix-Up is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars. It costs 50 coins to buy at the Mini-Game House in Mario Party. The minigame Hexagon Heat from Mario Party 2 follows the same rules.
Overview[edit]
Players have to stay on the same-colored Mushroom Platforms as Toad's flag. The other colored mushrooms then slowly sink. Falling into the water results in a Blooper appearing and carrying the player away. Players can ground-pound their opponents to stun them temporarily. The longer the players stay in the minigame, the faster the colored mushrooms sink down as Toad keeps changing his flag. The last player standing wins the minigame. If all the players fall into the water, the minigame ends in a draw.
In Mario Party Superstars, the mushrooms all bear patterns on them to make them more easily distinguishable for colorblind players, like in Hexagon Heat in Mario Party: The Top 100. The water below now shows reefs on the side and a large abyss in the center. Additionally, if two or more players stay in the minigame for a long time, a 30-second timer pops up, similarly to Shy Guy Says. If that timer runs out, any player left standing wins. If all of the players on the stage fall into the water, the player who fell in last is declared the winner. Toad reacts depending on the result: if a player wins through normal means, he claps; if a player wins after falling into the water, he reacts in shock; and if the minigame ends in a draw, he shrugs in dismay.

Notes[edit]
- If the minigame lasts too long, the movement of the Mushroom Platforms gets so fast that players can survive by just jumping and ground-pounding with proper timing.
- Exclusively in Mario Party, the mushrooms will soon enough drop faster than gravity itself, meaning the players will be put into freefall instantly. At this point, they can Hip-Drop instantly to stay alive.[2]
- Furthermore, exclusively in the Japanese version of Mario Party, if the remaining players keep Hip-Dropping, the mushrooms move at such an immense speed that even not making any inputs has the players survive.[3]
