Tile and Error

Tile and Error is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name is a pun on "trial and error." It takes place on a raised square platform in the middle of a colosseum-esque stadium.

Gameplay
The two teams are shown to a suspended platform with a grid of 16 tiles. Each team must ground-pound them to change them to the team's color. A player can ground-pound the edges and vertices between tiles to change more than one at once (up to four tiles). Players can jump on, punch, kick, and ground-pound each other to temporarily stun them. Additionally, players who are knocked off the stage will be returned to the platform by a Fly Guy. The team that has more tiles of its color when the time expires wins.

The minigame's ending cutscene shows the winning players cheering and the losers sulking. Ties are possible.
