Rock, Paper, Mario

Rock, Paper, Mario (stylized as Rock, Paper, MARIO on the Mini-Game Stadium roulette) is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 2. It can be played in Bowser Land and in Mini-Game Land. This minigame is played very similarly to, on which the minigame's name is a pun.

Gameplay
The players choose one of three characters—Mario, Peach, or Bowser—and then reveal their choices to their opposition. Both players have 30 seconds from the starting signal to make a choice. The timer does not appear until the final five seconds. If both players choose the same character, the Goomba declares the match a tie, forcing the game to restart. Whoever chooses the character who beats the other player's character is the winner.
