Think Tank is a 1-vs.-3 minigame that is found in Mario Party 7. The name is a pun on "think tank," which is an organization that conducts research and advocacy, and a military tank.

Gameplay[edit]

The solo player controls a large slow tank, while the team players have small faster tanks. The large tank has ten hit points, while the smaller ones have three each. The goal of the three small tanks is to defeat the large tank, while the large one's goal is to destroy the small ones. The solo player wins if they destroy all three small tanks. The team players win if they destroy the big tank. If neither side defeats the other within five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.

Ending[edit]
