Mushroom Medic is an Extra Room minigame in Mario Party 4.

Gameplay[]

Five partients are in a hospital: either a Toad, Goomba, Boo, Shy Guy, or Koopa Troopa. Each of them is given a Poison Mushroom, but only one of the patients is infected. The player has to give the pill to the infected patient. They must find out which patient was infected by hearing (or by looking at heartbeat symbols if the Rumble option is off) the patients' heartbeats through the controller rumbling. The patient who has the different heartbeat is the one infected. The player has a limited amount of time to find the sick patient; this starts at twenty seconds, but the number of seconds decreases by one every round up until the sixteenth set of patients onward, which have a five-second limit. If the player chooses the right patient, they are happy, and a new set of patients arrives.

If the objective is not met on time, the sick patient passes out, while the other patients look at them. If the player gives the pill to the wrong patient, they have a question mark on their head, instead of glowing, and the actual sick patient passes out. The minigame then ends with sirens wailing in the distance, the Bowser losing music plays.

The minigame ends when a score of 99 is reached, and if this score is reached, all of the patients do a happy dance. Ironically, the sirens still wail in the distance, and the Bowser losing theme is played.
