Starring Artist is a General minigame in Mario Party: Island Tour.

Layout[]

The characters are standing on an observation deck overseeing several hills. The deck features a stone ground and gray railing. For a majority of the minigame, a clear, starry night sky is shown on both the top screen and Touch Screen. There are both five-pointed yellow stars and stars represented by white dots in the distant background, but the five-pointed yellow stars are closer and more prominent.

Opening[]

The characters walk to the observation stage. The camera then scrolls up to show the starry sky, and a demonstration of a constellation forming is shown.

Gameplay[]

In all three rounds, the characters have to try and recreate two constellations, each depicting either a Mario enemy or species via the Touch Screen. To do so, they have to connect the stars with the Stylus, and a thick, light blue outline indicates which of the stars have to be connected. At the end of a round, each character receives nine, six, three or zero points respectively, awarded from the quickest to slowest at connecting the two constellations. Whoever has the highest score after the final round is the winner.

Controls[]

  • Stylus: Draw line

Flavor text[]

  • Rules (American English): Use your stylus to copy the constellations you see on the top screen as quickly as possible.
  • Rules (British English): Take a look at the constellations on the upper screen, then try to recreate them by drawing lines between the stars.

Trivia[]

  • The minigame's title is a pun on "starving artist," a phrase that refers to a person who focuses on their art over anything else.
