Slap Down

Slap Down is an battle minigame found during the events of the Nintendo 64 game, Mario Party 3.

Introduction
The minigame takes place inside a flower garden. There are several flowers growing on the field, clearly resembling those featured in the minigame. A wooden fence surrounds the flower field. In the middle of the screen is a game table with nine panels and a flower image in the center. The minigame sets in with four of the characters standing around the table next to a red button on a device linked with colored mechanical hand. At the center of the table, the flower icon continuously changes until it stops a short time later. Then the minigame starts.

Gameplay
The players' objective during the minigame is to slap down their mechanical hands by pressing the red button the fastest as soon as the rotating panels show an image that matches the flower in the center of the table. There are five different flowers in the minigame; only one randomly selected on the middle of the table before the minigame starts.

To make the minigame fair, there is a penalty for pressing the button too early. If a player slaps their hand on the flower on the center while the flower icons do not match, they will be disqualified and cannot continue playing the minigame. Players must be patient and react quickly when both of the flower icons match.

The minigame determines which player has been ranked first, second, third, or fourth. The player with the highest rank gets more Coins than the players who are ranked second, and third at the end of the minigame.
