Throw Me a Bone

Throw Me a Bone is a 4-player minigame in Mario Party 6. Its name comes from the expression "throw me a bone", which is a plaintive request for someone to go easy on or aid the speaker.

There are only aesthetic changes between the daytime and the nighttime. When this minigame is played in Decathalon Park, the Chain Chomp that was watching the events follows the four players.

There is a Miracle Book page featuring this minigame, called "Fetch".

Introduction
The camera stars out with a front view of the player on the Chain Chomp. It then rotates around to behind the player as the screen splits into four sections.

Gameplay
Players are attempting to toss bones to make the Chain Chomps they ride upon move forward, toward the goal. A purple arrow moving left and right appears in front of the player before they toss a bone. Pressing A stops the arrow. They then tosses a bone in that direction, which the Chain Chomp chases the bone. If the Chain Chomp bumps into a column, the Chain Chomp and player are temporarily stunned. The first one to cross the finish line wins.

Ending
There are two possible endings. The first involves the winner preforming their victory animation with the Chain Chomp behind them. The second involves the winner preforming the animation as a bone is thrown across the screen from off screen; a Chain Chomp then races after it.
