Mushroom Mix-Up

Mushroom Mix-Up is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars.

Gameplay
Players have to stay on the same colored mushrooms as Toad's flag. The other colored mushrooms will then slowly sink. Falling into the water results in a Blooper appearing and carrying the player away. Players can ground-pound their opponents to stun them temporarily. The longer the players stay in the minigame, the faster the colored mushrooms sink down as Toad keeps changing his flag. The last player standing wins the minigame.

The minigame can be purchased from the Mini-Game House for 50 coins.

The minigame Hexagon Heat from Mario Party 2 follows the same rules.

In Mario Party Superstars, the mushrooms all bear patterns on them to make them more easily distinguishable, similar to in Hexagon Heat in Mario Party: The Top 100. The yellow mushroom has vertical lines, the red mushroom has four dots, the cyan mushroom has three dots, the black mushroom is now white and has diagonal lines, the green mushroom has six dots, the blue mushroom is now purple and has seven dots (one being big while the others are small), and the pink mushroom has zigzags. Also, if two or more players stay in the minigame for a long time, a 30-second timer will pop up. If that timer runs out, then any player left standing will win.

 * Game Rules – "Move quickly to the same colored Mushroom as Toad's flag. If you're too slow, the mushrooms will sink."
 * Advice – "Do a Hip Drop on others and squish them down. If you squish them, they can't move for a moment."

Mario Party Superstars

 * "Hurry and move to the pattern that matches the sign I [Toad] hold up!"

Trivia

 * If the minigame lasts too long, the movement of mushrooms gets so fast that players can survive by just jumping at the right time, or even without jumping at all.
