A '''minigame''' (sometimes formatted as '''mini-game''') is a short game that may reward [[coin]]s, [[List of items|items]], or higher scores.

The [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] has many types of minigames. Most award ten coins, while some award items. In ''[[Mario Party]]'', a few minigames can cause a player to lose coins, although this system was changed in later ''Mario Party'' games. Since ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', players can now practice minigames before trying them out for real. Some minigames involve collecting coins freely, and any coins players collect are added to their coin totals afterwards; players cannot lose unless they do not get any coins. Some minigames can last as long as ten, five, four, three, or two minutes, but a timer does not appear until 30 or 60 seconds are left. | The [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] has many types of minigames.

'''Bowser minigames''' are [[Bowser]]'s own minigames. Bowser minigames are often extremely unfair to the players, as Bowser makes all the rules. Bowser minigames are also similar to 4-Player and 1-vs.-3 minigames (where the 1 is the player who lands on the [[Bowser Space]]), except that they produce a loser instead of a winner. The loser can lose [[coin]]s, [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s (if they have one, or more), or [[List of items|items]]. | '''Bowser minigames''' are [[Bowser]]'s own minigames.
