Flash Forward

Flash Forward is a Free-for-All minigame appearing in Mario Party 10, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars. The name of this minigame is a play on the term "flashback," a recollection of past events, and "fast forward," which refers to a speed-up option present when watching movies or listening to music.

Gameplay
This minigame takes place in a studio where the players are standing in a random background each time they play, from five other Mario Party 10 minigames, three other Mario Party: The Top 100 minigames, or five other Mario Party Superstars minigames. The objective is to brawl with all the other players in order to make it to the platform and create a pose for the camera. If a player is ground-pounded, they will flatten and become unable to move for one second. Once the timer is up, the camera will flash, and any player creating a pose on the platform will gain ten points. Sometimes, there is no clear winner or loser. In Mario Party: The Top 100, if there is a tie and everyone is in fourth place, a music track from Mario Party: Star Rush will play; the same applies to Night Light Fright and Cage-in Cookin'.

In Superstars, the background can be chosen in Free Play mode.
