Tug o' War

Tug o' War is a 1 vs. 3 mini-game in Mario Party. It also appears in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars. The game consists of one team of three and a lone character in a game of Tug o' War. The lone character will be in a Bowser Suit and must try to pull the team of three into the canyon.

While on Mini-Game Island, this mini-game serves as World 3-4 and the player must pull the other team off the cliff to clear the game.

Instructions[]

Game Rules	It's a 3-on-1 Tug o' War! Rotate to tug the rope. Pull the other team off of the cliff to clear the game.
Controls	- Rotate to pull rope
Advice	Just rotate your ! When you fall from the cliff, you will get eaten by a giant Piranha Plant.

Trivia[]

This is one of the four Mario Party mini-games that caused blisters to players using the palm of their hands to rotate the Control Stick faster, thus why Nintendo stopped developing mini-games that require rotating the Control Stick. In addition, the instructions screen in Mario Party Superstars warns players not to use the palms of their hands.
