Hide and Go BOOM!

Hide and Go BOOM! is a 1-vs-3 minigame from Mario Party 4. Its name is a pun on the actual game Hide and Go Seek.

Introduction
The solo player is seen on some tribal ground with four cannons behind him/her. The camera zooms in on the first three cannons as the three players jump out. The camera zooms out and the game begins.

Gameplay
The solo player has a torch, while the team has five seconds to hide in any of four cannons, labeled, , , and. The last button that any member of the team presses is the cannon they will hide in. The solo player then has three chances to eliminate the team by lighting the corresponding fuses leading to the cannon. If one or more characters are hiding in the cannon, they get shot off and eliminated. Members of the team are also eliminated if they do not choose a cannon in time. The solo player wins if they eliminate the team, but the team wins if any are left remaining.

Ending
If the solo player wins, they will do their victory poses while the remaining Spear Guys celebrate with the solo player. Losing players are not seen. If the three players win, they will pop out of their cannons (if there are any left) and do their victory poses while the solo player does their losing pose.
