M.P.I.Q.

M.P.I.Q. is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 3.

Gameplay
Players have to listen to Toad when he is asking something based on the activities on the board, player characters, or anything related. First, Toad will slowly show the question letter by letter. A player must press to hit the ? Block and answer the question, and players can hit the ? Block before the question is fully revealed. An "O" means the answer is correct, and an "X" means the answer is incorrect. If an answer is incorrect, the player who answered the question gets squashed by a block and loses their next turn. Players are also squashed if a question is not answered within five seconds. The first player to answer three questions correctly wins. If no one answers three questions correctly after ten questions, the minigame ends. If multiple players have the highest score, a draw occurs.

Trivia
