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.

Gameplay
This minigame takes place in a studio where the players are standing in a random background from either five other Mario Party 10 minigames or three other Mario Party: The Top 100 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'.
