Pyramid Scheme

Mario Party

Pyramid Scheme is a 2-vs.-2 coin minigame in Mario Party 7.

Layout

The minigame takes place in an Egyptian tomb-like setting.

Gameplay

Both characters on each team have to collect coins and the lesser-common coin bags (worth five coins each) as they fall from above. Each team has to try and collect the most coins within a 30-second time limit. Each of the coins and coin bags have a shadow to indicate their landing spot. The only way for a character to lose is by not collecting any coins.

Controls

  • Control Stick: Move

Game data

  • Rules: Work with a partner to catch the coins raining down from above!
  • Advice: The coins make shadows when they are about to fall. Bags are worth 5 coins, so catch them at all costs!

Trivia

  • The minigame's name is a pun on the phrase pyramid scheme, referring to a type of illegal investment scam.
