Stardust Battle is a Rare minigame in Mario Party 3.

Overview[edit]

It is the final stage of Story Mode, and is also unlocked by completing it. The player tries dodging flaming star meteors, which cool off shortly after landing, then the player can pick one up and throw it at the Millennium Star, who glows redder after each hit. The field is altered by the Millennium Star after every hit in Easy mode, two hits in Normal mode, or three hits in Hard mode. The minigame plays identically to Hard mode in Super Hard and Free Play modes. The Millennium Star first changes the floored from checkered to goop-covered, which slows the player's movement, then to an ice floor with low traction. In total, the Millennium Star requires three hits to defeat in Easy mode, six in Normal, or nine in Hard and Super Hard mode. If the player either touches a hot meteor or gets hit by one, or if three minutes pass, the player loses.

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move
  • A ButtonJump
