Fruits of Doom
- Not to be confused with Fruit of the Doom.
Template:Minigame-infobox Fruits of Doom is a Bowser mini-game in Mario Party 4. It involves Bowser commanding the four players to bring him fruit.
Gameplay
At the beginning of the game, Bowser says a list of ten to eleven fruits he wants. The list of fruits speeds up to the point where the final fruits on Bowser's list are visible for only about four frames, making the end of the list barely understandable. After Bowser finishes his list, the players take turns bringing him a fruit. If a player brings a fruit that is on the list, then the participants keep playing.
The eight fruit choices shown in the mini-game are in order from left to right as follows: a strawberry, a melon, an apple, an orange, a bunch of grapes, a pair of cherries, a bunch of bananas, and a pineapple. Despite their appearances, the fruits do not have to be brought in any specific order; rather, each successful offering removes a corresponding fruit from the list Bowser gave at the beginning. As the game progresses, Bowser may occasionally show second thoughts before eating the fruit that he is given regardless if he is given the correct or incorrect fruit, but it is intended only as a bluff. If Bowser consumes the fruit, it is the correct fruit. The game continues until someone brings a fruit that is not on Bowser's list or someone brings a certain correct fruit too many times; as a result, that player loses the game, getting burned by Bowser.
As a side note, if all of the fruits are brought over to Bowser, the next player automatically loses.
