Crowd Cover is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 3.

Overview

The two competitors are seen in front of the drawing paper, with various characters standing on a massive sheet of paper. The players have to choose one of three small pictures and match it with the larger picture in front of them. The picture can be of a Boo, Toad, or Bob-omb. The larger drawing is covered by characters that are the same species as the drawing. As time passes, the crowd on the paper decreases in size, allowing players to see the picture better. If one player chooses incorrectly, the other player wins. The minigame ends when one player chooses which of the drawings they believe is correct. The winner and loser then perform their victory and losing animations, respectively.
