Hand, Line and Sinker

Hand, Line and Sinker is a 1-vs-3 minigame found in Mario Party 3. The name is a pun on the phrase "hook, line, and sinker."

Gameplay
Three players dressed like fish have to avoid being caught by the other player, who attempts to reel in the other three with the Magic Hand. If at least one of the team players avoids being caught for 60 seconds, they all win. If the solo player catches all the players in the water, the solo player wins.

Solo (1 player)

 * / – Aim
 * – Adjust distance
 * – Cast Magic Hand

Group (3 players)

 * – Adjust direction
 * – Swim forward

In-game text

 * Game Rules – "Reel in the 3 who have become fish. If all get caught, the single player wins."
 * Advice – "You can move the Magic Hand a little after you cast."

Trivia

 * The minigame makes a brief appearance in issue 27 in Super Mario-kun, where the characters are depicted as wearing fish costumes. Mario is seen catching Peach. When he catches Luigi, he also reels Yoshi, who is biting Luigi.

Glitch
It’s possible for the three team players to win, even if none of the team players survived. If this happens; the solo player will do their losing animation, then go back to their idle animation and the camera zooms into the pool with no fish being in it
