Shock Absorbers (Mario Party 7)

Shock Absorbers is an 8-Player minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name is a pun on electric shocks and "s," mechanical devices meant to soften jolts sustained by moving vehicles.

Gameplay
In this game, each of the eight players is secluded inside a box with three switches, and the players have to hit the switch that lights up. When all three switches are blinking red, players must duck to avoid the jolt. If the player hits an incorrect switch, is zapped by all three switches, or does not hit a switch in time, they are eliminated after being electrocuted. The last player standing wins for their team, even if that player's teammate was eliminated. If remaining players from different teams get electrocuted at the same time, the minigame ends in a tie.

Controls

 * / (Up, Left, Right) – Punch
 * / (Down) – Crouch

In-game text

 * Rules – "Punch left, right, and up to hit the lights when they blow. If every light is glowing, duck!"
 * Advice – "You'll lose if you fail to punch a glowing button, or if you press the wrong one."

Trivia

 * This is the first minigame in the Mario Party series to use the same name as an unrelated minigame in a previous game.
