Picking Panic

Picking Panic is a 2-vs-2 minigame found in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Superstars.

Gameplay[]

Teams in their hanging ropes swing back and forth, and the minigame starts. One player on the team has to grab the cherries dropped by a Ukiki and throw them to the other player, who then puts the cherries in the basket to earn points. The size of the cherries affects how far they fly when thrown. The team that has more points at the end of the minigame wins. If both teams get the same score, the minigame ends in a draw.

Ending[]

The winning team jumps on top of Woody's mouth and celebrates.

Controls[]

Mario Party 3[]

Press – Grab cherries

Flavor text[]

Mario Party 3[]

Game Rules – "Grab the cherries from Woody, then pass them to your partner to put in the basket."
Advice – "The distance the cherries fly depends on their size. Try to match your timing to their size."

Mario Party Superstars[]

"Pass the cherries at the right time, and put as many as you can in the basket."

Trivia[]

In Mario Party 3, the sound that plays when a cherry is dropped into the basket is similar to the sound that plays when a fruit is eaten in Pac-Man.
