Pipe Maze is a 1-vs-3 minigame from Mario Party.

Overview

The minigame is based on amidakuji, though with pipes. The solo player drops a Treasure Chest containing ten Coins into one of the four entrances, then the Treasure Chest moves through paths until another player receives it. Unlike in other 1-vs-3 minigames, only one of the team players can win, from obtaining the Coins, making it act somewhat more as a 4-Player minigame.

Pipe Maze costs 350 Coins to buy at the Mini-Game House.
