All of the characters are on a large chunk of ice, attempting to knock all the other players off. There is also a [[Lakitu]] floating above the iceberg who will drop Buzzy Beetles; although these Buzzy Beetles hurt characters, the Buzzy Beetles can prove themselves helpful in that jumping on them results in them retreating into their shell, which nearby players can kick into opponents. Whoever is the last one on the ice wins.
The objective for each player is to knock all the others off the iceberg. The Lakitu floating above drops Buzzy Beetles onto the ice; bumping into them knocks players back, and their [[Buzzy Shell|shell]]s can also be kicked at other players to try to knock them off. The players can also [[jump]] on, [[punch]], and [[kick]] their opponents to stun them temporarily. If a player falls off the iceberg, they are eliminated and swim to another iceberg. The last player remaining wins. If all four players fall off the iceberg, the last player to fall off wins the minigame. If five minutes pass before three players fall off, the remaining players win and split a majority of the [[coin]]s in the pot.


It is possible for all four characters to fall off the platform. If this happens, the player who last fell off will win the minigame.

If five minutes pass without three players falling off, the remaining players celebrate while the other players are on the distant iceberg.

Glacial Meltdown is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 8.

Introduction[edit]

The four characters are shown on an iceberg as a Lakitu appears and drops a Buzzy Beetle, surprising them. One of the characters knocks the Buzzy Beetle back into the ocean as the minigame starts.

Gameplay[edit]

The objective for each player is to knock all the others off the iceberg. The Lakitu floating above drops Buzzy Beetles onto the ice; bumping into them knocks players back, and their shells can also be kicked at other players to try to knock them off. The players can also jump on, punch, and kick their opponents to stun them temporarily. If a player falls off the iceberg, they are eliminated and swim to another iceberg. The last player remaining wins. If all four players fall off the iceberg, the last player to fall off wins the minigame. If five minutes pass before three players fall off, the remaining players win and split a majority of the coins in the pot.

Ending[edit]

The last player standing celebrates in front of three penguins on the iceberg while the other three players sulk on another iceberg farther away. If the last player standing falls into the water, they celebrate on the farther iceberg, next to the other three players that lost; their voice is harder to hear at that distance. If five minutes pass without three players falling off, the remaining players celebrate while the other players are on the distant iceberg.
