Chip Shot Challenge

Chip Shot Challenge is a 4-player minigame found in Mario Party 3. It reappears in Mario Party: The Top 100. Its name is a pun on Chip's Challenge.

Gameplay
The players have to make a shot as accurately as possible within the time limit.

If a player gets a hole in one, that player will automatically win. If this happens, Lakitu will hold a sign saying "NICE!". Other players can make a hole in one and win too. If no players make a hole in one, the player whose ball is closest to the hole wins. If two or more players tie with the condition of no players making a hole in one, all of those players will still win.

In Battle Royale mode in Mario Party 3, the players take turns according to the turn order during the board. In Mini-Game mode, the players take turns according to player order.
