Flashfright
Template:Minigame-infobox Flashfright is a 1-vs-3 minigame from Mario Party 7. Its name is a pun on "flashlight".
Introduction
The team reaches the courtyard, being followed by the solo player. Then, the gate closes.
Gameplay
The game takes place at night in a castle courtyard decorated by several Shy Guy statues. The solo player runs around with a flashlight trying to catch the group players, who must use their environment to avoid capture. Group players caught in the light are eliminated, with a Fly Guy appearing to carry them off. If any one of the group players team manage to avoid detection for thirty seconds, they win. The single player wins if they manage to catch the group players.
Ending
If the single player wins, they will do their victory animation as the other three are carried away by Fly Guys. If the group players win, the single player looks around and walks out of the courtyard while they perform their victory animation behind him or her.
