Stage Fright (minigame)

Stage Fright is a 1-vs-3 minigame in Mario Party 6. Its name comes from the term "stage fright", which means fear of performing in front of a crowd.

Introduction
The three players attempt to hit the single player with the balls shot out of their cannons, though they dodge the projectiles.

Gameplay
The objective for the group players is to knock the solo player off the stage by shooting different colored balls at them. The objective for the solo player is to avoid the balls for 30 seconds. The cannons all move automatically; the first player's platform moves the slowest and the last player's platform moves fastest. The cannon are also lined up in rows, making it possible for a group player to hit and stun one of the teammates in front of them.

Ending
If the three players win, their three cannons line up in a formation as the players do their victory animations. If the solo player wins, they will do their victory animation while the three players do their losing animations.
