Pachinko Wizard (Egg Drop in the British English version) is a luck-based General minigame from Mario Party: Island Tour.

Overview[edit]

In the demo, a purple and yellow Toad are inside a pachinko board. A Lakitu throws a Spiny Egg down the board, though it does not hit anybody before cutting to the players.

The players must choose the pachinko slot they think is the safest. A Lakitu will drop a Spiny Egg down the board, and the player in the slot the Spiny falls into will be eliminated. The process continues until there is only one player remaining.

Controls[edit]

  • A Button/B Button/X Button/Y Button – Choose slot.

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules – American English: "Try to guess where Lakitu's Spiny Egg will fall, and choose a safe place to stand."
  • Rules – British English: "Try to pick a spot where Lakitu's Spiny Eggs won't hit you!"

Naming[edit]

The minigame's American English name is a reference to the song "Pinball Wizard" by the band The Who.
