Lost and Pound is a 1-vs.-3 minigame found in Super Mario Party Jamboree. Its name is a pun on "lost and found," a location in many public places where lost objects can be returned.

Introduction[edit]

Four holes on a machine open, and the solo player jumps out of the bottom hole. The hammer then moves to the west, to the north, and back to the west holes, hitting them in order as the solo player holds their hands together and closes their eyes.

Gameplay[edit]

The solo player chooses which hole to hide in, then the team of three must choose where to strike. After all players choose, the solo player jumps out of their selected hole while the hammer positions itself over the holes before swinging to hit them. The solo player has three lives, and if they are hit by the hammer, they lose one life. If the solo player manages to survive all three rounds without being hit three times, they win. If the team of three manages to hit the solo player three times, the team wins, and the solo player falls into a hole.

Ending[edit]

The players' characters are a bit farther from where the minigame takes place, where the winning team does their winning animations, while the losing team does their losing animation(s) behind them.

Controls[edit]

  • Single Joy-Con Left Button / Single Joy-Con Top Button / Single Joy-Con Right Button / Single Joy-Con Bottom Button – Select location

In-game text[edit]

The solo player chooses a hiding spot, and the team side guesses where to strike with the hammer. The team side has to guess correctly three times to win.
