Magmathon

Magmathon (known as Hot-Scotch in PAL regions) is a general minigame in Mario Party: Island Tour. It can be played in the Time Attack mode as well as some other Minigames. Its American name is a portmanteau of the words "Marathon" and "Magma".

Introduction
The players start out on a giant, rocky platform. Two different platforms lettered A, B, X or Y rise from some lava below.

Gameplay
The players press buttons to jump to different platforms rising from the lava. Although it is impossible to fall into the lava, the players can still lose time by pressing the wrong button. Every time a character jumps into a rock platform, two new ones will rise in front of it, each with different letters representing which button should be pressed. The first player to the other side of the lava wins.
