The players attempt to knock out the rest of the players by shooting [[cannonball]]s with Koopa Tanks, tanks resembling [[Shell|Koopa Shell]]s. In ''Mario Party 2'', the Koopa Tank colors depend on the character being played: [[Mario]] rides a red tank, [[Luigi]] rides a blue tank, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] rides a pink tank, [[Yoshi]] rides a green tank, [[Wario]] rides a purple tank, and [[Donkey Kong]] rides a brown tank. In ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', however, the colors are instead assigned by player number: red, blue, green, and yellow (for Players 1–4, respectively). Players can also use a lob shot if a player is behind a [[Warp Pipe]]. A player that gets hit with a cannonball twice becomes eliminated. In ''Mario Party 2'', there are three randomly selected levels, which can be chosen by players in [[Mini-Game Land]].

Players can also use a lob shot, generally used if a player is behind a [[Warp Pipe]]. Two cannonballs that hit each other explode upon contact. A player that gets hit with a cannonball twice becomes eliminated. In ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Superstars'', there are three randomly selected levels, which can be chosen by players in their respective free play modes.


The levels vary depending on how many Warp Pipes are placed as obstacles.

In the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the stage that is used is dependent on the skill level that is played: Stage 2 is used for Normal, and Stage 1 is used for Hard. This is also the final minigame, where the human player plays against a team of three [[Koopa Kid]]s, with Stage 3 being used.
