Rock, Paper, Mario

Rock, Paper, Mario
Type	Duel mini-game

Rock, Paper, Mario (stylized as Rock, Paper, MARIO on the Mini-Game Stadium roulette) is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 2. It can be played in Bowser Land and in Mini-Game Land. This minigame is played very similarly to Rock, Paper, Scissors, on which the minigame's name is a pun.

Gameplay

The players choose one of three characters—Mario, Peach, or Bowser—and then reveal their choices to their opposition. Both players have 30 seconds from the starting signal to make a choice. The timer does not appear until the final five seconds. If both players choose the same character, the Goomba declares the match a tie, forcing the game to restart. Whoever chooses the character who beats the other player's character is the winner.

Player choices

• BOWSER beats PEACH. (BOWSER "kidnaps" PEACH, and the symbol is a purple heart.)
• PEACH beats MARIO. (PEACH "kisses" MARIO, and the symbol is a pink heart.)
• MARIO beats BOWSER. (MARIO "defeats" BOWSER, and the symbol is a Star.)

Controls

• – Mario
• – Peach
• – Bowser

In-game text

• Goomba – "Mario beats Bowser. Peach beats Mario. Bowser beats Peach. Just like in rock, paper, scissors, the strongest one wins! The Button is Mario, the Button, Peach, and the Button, Bowser."
