Makin' Waves

Makin' Waves is a 1-vs.-3 minigame played in Mario Party 4. It is similar to the Mario Party 3 minigame Tidal Toss, but with the roles of the single player and the team reversed.

In this minigame, one player is on a platform in a large pool. The three team members are on small rafts on the edge of the pool. By Ground Pounding, the team can create waves that might knock the solo player over. The solo player must avoid this by moving around on the platform to balance the weight. The team wins if at any time the solo player falls into the drink. However, if the solo player can stand their ground for thirty seconds, he or she wins instead.

In-Game Text

 * Rules from Mario Party 4: "The team players must pound the ground to make waves, while the lone player must try to balance on the shell."
 * Advice from Mario Party 4: "Try making waves from different angles to rock the shell. The lone player might have to move in circles to stay on board."
