Key-pa-Way

Key-pa-way (also referred to as Koop-away) is a four-player minigame in Mario Party. It is based on the real life game, Keep Away, off which its name is a pun (a key is used in the minigame, rather than a ball).

Gameplay
All the players must team up to win this minigame; one player gets a key, and the rest of the players have to intercept the key like a team. If one of the five Spike Koopas gets the key, the game ends, in which that loses the game for the players, and they each must forfeit five coins. Alternately, when the time runs out, the key drops, thus also making the players forfeit five coins. If the player with the key reaches to the key lock, all the players win, earning ten coins.
