Social Climbers is a 4-Player minigame appearing in Super Mario Party. Its name is a pun on a phrase that refers to people who are eager to gain a higher social status.

Overview[edit]

In this minigame, the players must continuously climb a pole. The first player to reach the top wins. After all human players reach the top, all remaining CPU players do big climbs until they reach the top.

On Challenge Road, this is the fifth challenge of Shell Street and the fifth challenge overall. The goal is to reach the top in 25 seconds for the normal challenge and 20 seconds for the Master Challenge.

Upon winning the minigame, fireworks explode in the air, balloons fly up to the sky, and most characters do a handstand on top of the pole. If Peach, Daisy, or Rosalina reaches the top, she will sit on the pole instead. Due to lacking arms, Goomba instead balances on its head.

Controls[edit]

  • Joy-Con + L Button/R Button – Climb

In-game text[edit]

  • Climb to the top!
  • Swing Joy-Con down while pressing L Button/R Button and then release while swinging Joy-Con back up, until you reach the top!
