Rhythm and Bruise is a Rhythm minigame in Super Mario Party. Its name is a play on "rhythm and blues."

Gameplay[edit]

Players have to hit moles that resemble Monty Moles to the beat of a country-themed song. Hitting a mole early or late earns the player one point, while hitting it at the right time (indicated by "Nice!") earns the player three points. Whoever earns the most points wins.

The perfect score is 51 on Normal difficulty and 69 on Hard difficulty.

On the Challenge Road, this is the second challenge of Chestnut Forest and the 12th challenge overall. The Normal difficulty is used, and the goal is 40 points for the normal challenge and 45 points for the Master Challenge.
