Template:Minigame-infobox Conveyor Bolt is a 1-vs.-3 minigame found in Mario Party 6. Its name is a pun on "conveyor belt."

Introduction

The view first shows the vehicles the players are competing on before zooming into the one specifically for the minigame. The player(s) on the cloud chariot(s) then drop(s) a lightning bolt.

Gameplay

The rules and objective of the minigame differ between day and night.

In the daytime version, the solo player attempts to defeat the team players by hitting them with lightning bolts from their cloud chariot. The team players must avoid the lightning bolts while running on a moving conveyor belt. The belt has several sections that spikes can pop out from, and lightning bolts that hit the ground also remain for a few seconds before disappearing. Any player who touches a lightning bolt or spikes is eliminated. The solo player wins if they can eliminate all three opponents, while the team players win if at least one of them survives until time runs out.

In the nighttime version, the roles are reversed: The single player must avoid the lightning bolts dropped by the team players' cloud vehicles. Though this means that there are more lightning bolts to avoid, in exchange the conveyor belt is inactive at night and no spikes appear.
