Trick or Tree is a luck-based Duel minigame in Mario Party 6.

Overview[edit]

The goal of this minigame is to guess which one of the four shady trees is the tallest. At the start of the minigame, the shady trees shuffle after they are shown in the intro. Each player then picks one of the trees. The players jump on the continuing branches until they reach the tops of their trees. The player whose tree is taller wins. Although players may watch the shady trees shuffle, their movements are impossible to track, making winning this minigame purely guesswork. In spite of this, Trick or Tree is categorized as both under "Easy" and "Hard" minigames.

In the PAL version of Mario Party 6, Trick or Tree does not appear in Endurance Alley, due to the minigame being luck-based.

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move
  • A Button – Pick a tree

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules – "Four shady trees will shuffle and dance. When they stop, it's up to you to pick the tallest tree. Whoever picks the tallest wins!"
  • Advice – "Choose a tree before time runs out! Good luck!"

Naming[edit]

The English name is a pun on the phrase "trick or treat", which is spoken by costumed children on Halloween when they go door-to-door for candy handouts.
