Blame It on the Crane is a 1-vs-3 mini-game from Mario Party 4. Each member of the team is placed in a color-coordinated ball along with about seven Shy Guys in similar balls. The balls and characters are on a large circular platform that spins counterclockwise. The solo player, positioned to the right of the platform, controls a large crane which must be used to capture the team as they pass. Grabbing a Shy Guy by mistake has no penalty other than naturally lost time. The team wins if any of its members survive for 60 seconds.
