Pyramid Scheme is a 2-vs.-2 coin-collecting minigame found in Mario Party 7.

Overview

Both teams try to collect coins falling from the ceiling, released from the golden jar seen in the minigame's background. Sometimes, bags that contain five coins fall from the ceiling. The goal of the minigame is to collect as many coins as the teams can as soon as possible. The teams can watch the shadows to determine where the coins and coin bags will fall. As with all other coin minigames, players get awarded the coins they have collected at the end. The only way for one to lose this minigame is not to collect any coins.
