Paddle Battle is a 1-vs-3 Coin-collecting minigame in Mario Party.
Overview[edit]
The four players all ride an inflatable boat down a river. The solo player as well as the team players competitively direct the boat to their opponent's shore to obtain their Coins. The obstacles include Spear Guys and rocks along the river. The side with more Coins by the end wins. If neither side receives any Coins, the victory theme plays while the players do their losing poses.
This minigame costs 50 Coins to buy from the Mini-Game House once it becomes available.
Controls[edit]
– Rotate to paddle

Notes[edit]
- Paddle Battle is one of the minigames infamous for giving players injuries on their hands, besides Tug o' War, Pedal Power, and, to a lesser extent, Deep Sea Divers and Cast Aways. A disclaimer is shown in the Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Classics re-release of Mario Party and advises players not to turn the stick with their palms to avoid injury and stick damage.
