Slot Trot
Template:Minigame-infobox Slot Trot is a 2-vs-2 minigame found in Mario Party 6. It reappears in Mario Party: The Top 100. Its name a pun on the Foxtrot, a dance from the 1920s.
Introduction
The camera shows the player's team; they run forward to move the wheel forward, then back to move it back. The view then changes to the one shown in-game.
Gameplay
Both slots that are displayed by a Lakitu flip randomly to show a pair of objects. The pair of objects shown can either be a mushroom, cloud, Green Shell, Fire Flower, Buzzy Beetle, Yoshi Egg, Cheep Cheep, and Red Paratroopa shell. The teams must then rotate the slot they stand upon so that the result on the machine matches the one on Lakitu's display. The first team to match the display three times wins. It is possible for both teams to score. If both teams score 3 points or if too many rounds pass, regardless of the teams' scores, a draw is declared.
In The Top 100, some icons have been changed: the Green Shell now shows the Koopa Troopa, the Buzzy Beetle's design resembles more of its common New Super Mario Bros. variation with the glowing red eyes, and Boos and Bullet Bills appear instead of the clouds and the Paratroopa shells.
Ending
The camera zooms in on the winners, who perform their victory animations. If a draw is declared, the players do their losing animation as "Tie" appears on the screen.
