Take a Breather is a four-player minigame in Mario Party 4. Its name comes from the phrase "take a breather", which is a way to suggest taking a break from something.

Introduction[edit]

The game starts on a shot of the sun, then pans down to show the players on a dock.

Gameplay[edit]

The goal of the game is to take a deep breath and stay underwater the longest.

The players are given five seconds to breathe in air using the L Button and R Button buttons. After the five seconds are up, the players go underwater. The person that holds their breath underwater for the longest amount of time wins. If one of the characters holds their breath for seven seconds, a Boo Plate is added to the Present Room.

Controls[edit]

  • L Button / R Button – Press Alternately to Inhale

In-game text[edit]

  • Game Rules – "Take a deep breath and see who can stay underwater the longest."
  • Advice – "Inhale lots of air by pressing L Button / R Button alternately until the time is up. Keep pressing L Button / R Button until then!
