Tunnel of Lava! is a single-player Bowser minigame in Mario Party 7.
Overview[edit]
The opening shows a Mechakoopa eating a key, retreating into a door, and several more emerging.
As the Mechakoopas rotate around in circles constantly while moving inside and out, the player tries to find which of them has the key. Mechakoopas can also turn red and breathe fire, stunning the player. If the player fulfills the objective, they win.
The ending shows the Mechakoopas fleeing from the arena. If the player has the key, they use it to unlock and exit the large door at the end. Should the player lose, Bowser crushes them, raising a fist afterward.
Controls[edit]
– Move
– Jump
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – "Only one of Bowser's minions has the precious door key. Stomp on them to find it."
- Advice – "Needless to say, fire is really, really painful. Avoid the critters when they are belching flame."

Ending
Naming[edit]
The title is a play on a carnival ride, the tunnel of love. This minigame's English name describes the location as opposed to the gameplay, despite the fact that all the single-player Bowser minigames are in the same location.
