Cast Aways

Cast Aways is a 4-Player coin-collecting minigame that is found in Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars. Its name is a pun on "s," which is a term used to describe people stuck on a deserted island by themselves.

The Mario Party version of this minigame, along with Paddle Battle, Pedal Power, Tug o' War, and to some extent Deep Sea Divers, was infamous for giving players injuries on their hands, forcing Nintendo to give protective gloves to players who suffered these injuries. In Mario Party Superstars, due to the game utilizing control sticks again, a disclaimer is placed on the rules screen, warning players not to use their palms to turn the stick to avoid hand injury and stick damage.

Introduction
The minigame takes place where four players are standing on an island, staring at the ocean, seeing three rows of items floating by. The minigame then starts.

Gameplay
The players' objective is to use their glove to gather coins within 60 seconds. There are three rows of items floating by, with single coins, Coin Bags that are worth five coins, and treasure chests worth 10 coins. The players have to obtain the floating items by casting their gloves a short, medium, or long distance. When the player makes a cast, they have to reel the glove back whether they captured an item successfully or not. However, if the player fails to reel the item back to them before the time runs out, they will not be awarded the captured item. The minigame ends when the time limit is up, but there is no winner or loser. All players who participate get to keep the number of coins they collected in the minigame.

In Mini-Game Island, the player has to get at least 30 coins to clear the game.

The minigame can be purchased from the Mini-Game House for 250 coins.
