Quicksand Cache

Quicksand Cache is a 1-vs-3 coin-collecting minigame in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party Superstars.

Opening[]

The player in the Bowser Suit is standing in the middle of the quicksand. A coin falls in, and Baby Bowser (Bowser Jr. in Mario Party Superstars) goes to get it and sinks into the quicksand. The three players not in the middle fall in.

Gameplay[]

Coins and Coin Bags fall into the quicksand as the minigame starts. Three players have to avoid being sucked into the core so they can get more coins, while the other player in the Bowser Suit controls the quicksand and gets coins automatically. If one of the players gets sucked into the core, that player will not be able to get any more coins, but they will keep the number collected. In Mario Party Superstars, the coin total is shared between the three players instead of individually.

In the Mini-Game Coaster in Mario Party 2, the human player is part of the team of three and must collect a certain number of coins to win: 10 for Normal, and 15 for Hard. If the human player manages to collect the required coin number but ends up falling into the quicksand, they will still win the minigame.

In Mario Party 2[]

Quicksand Cache can be bought from Woody for 150 coins.
