Glacial Meltdown

Template:Minigame-infobox Glacial Meltdown is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 8.

Gameplay

The minigame opens with the four characters on an iceberg, and a Buzzy Beetle appears, surprising them. One of the characters knocks the Buzzy Beetle back into the ocean as the game starts.

The objective is to eliminate all the other players. A Lakitu floating above the iceberg drops Buzzy Beetles onto the ice; bumping into them knocks players back, and their shells can also be kicked at other players to try and knock them off. The last remaining player is declared the winner; if all four players fall off the platform, the last player to who last fell off will win the minigame. If the time limit expires before three players fall, the remaining players win and split a majority of the coins in the pot.
