Surge and Destroy

Surge and Destroy is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party 6. Its name is a pun on the phrase "search and destroy." On the official website for Mario Party 6, there is a minigame called "Freeze-It," which is based on this minigame.

Introduction
The group players are standing on one platform, with the single player on a platform above. The group players are then shocked as electrical streams emerge from the generators and a ball of electricity forms.

Gameplay
The solo player must knock out the three group players with the ball of electricity created where the two streams of lightning intersect. The other players must survive as the single player guides the sphere of electricity. If one of the group players is hit by one of the electrical streams, they are stunned for a second. Contact with the sphere eliminates them. The solo player wins if they eliminate all the group players. The group players win if at least one of them survives for 30 seconds.

Ending
If the solo player wins, they will perform their victory animation on their platform while the others perform their losing animations on the other platform. If the group players win, they will perform their victory animations from wherever they are while the solo player performs their losing animation.
