Sort Stack

Sort Stack is a single-player minigame found in Mario Party Advance. Its name is a pun on "short stack."

Introduction
The character leaps onto a cart in front of a bookshelf. A sweat drop appears inside a text bubble above them before the minigame starts.

Gameplay
The player has to sort all the books by placing them on the proper shelves, as many of the books are mixed up. The books must be sorted by color, with red being the top shelf, blue the third, yellow the second, and green the bottom. The player is able to hold only two books at a time.

In Shroom City, the player must organize one shelf in 60 seconds to win. In Play Land, the player must organize as many shelves as possible within the time limit. Additionally, organizing a shelf adds a number of seconds to the time limit, depending on the length of the shelf; it is three seconds for a three-section shelf, six for two, and nine for a full-length shelf.

The player also earns points every time a shelf is cleared.
