Mario Party: The Top 100:

Blame It on the Crane is a 1-vs-3 minigame from Mario Party 4 and Mario Party: The Top 100. The name of this minigame is derived from the title of Milli Vanilli's song "Blame It on the Rain."

Introduction[edit]

In a close-up view on a wheel with Shy Guys in balls, a crane lowers but fails to grab one. The scene zooms out as the crane rises and the wheel starts spinning, and the game begins.

Gameplay[edit]

In the minigame, each member of the team is placed in a color-coordinated capsule (the capsules resemble gashapon capsules, which capsules and Orbs from later Mario Party games are based on) along with six Shy Guys in similar balls. The balls and characters are on a large circular platform that spins counterclockwise. The solo player, positioned to the right of the platform, controls a large crane that must be used to capture the team players as they pass. Grabbing a Shy Guy by mistake has no penalty other than lost time. The solo player wins if they capture all the team players. The team wins if any of its members survive for 60 seconds.

In Mario Party: The Top 100, instead of Shy Guys, there are Koopa Troopas inside the plastic balls.

Ending[edit]

The wheel stops spinning. Afterwards, in Mario Party 4, if the solo player wins, they will jump out of the crane, run to the center of the wheel, and do a winning pose. If the team players win, the remaining players' balls will disappear, and they will do their winning poses while the solo player just sits in the crane silently.
