Bounce 'n' Trounce

Bounce 'n' Trounce is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 3, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.

Gameplay
The game takes place on a midair 3×3 playing field over a pit. The purple starry background has trees and floating stars in Mario Party 3 and The Top 100 and curtains with starry patterns and glowing lights in Superstars. Players on bouncing balls have to knock other players off the platforms by jumping and spin-attacking. Later in the minigame, the square-boxed platforms will fall off, one by one. The last player standing wins. In Mario Party 3, if multiple players survive after time runs out, the minigame ends in a draw.
