'''Mario Bandstand''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party]]''. The name of the minigame is possibly a pun on the title of or a reference to the classic American variety television show ''{{wp|American Bandstand}}''.

==Introduction==
The audience is throwing [[Green Shell|shell]]s and [[hammer]]s at the curtain, then it opens up.

==Gameplay==
One player has to conduct (by pushing the Control Stick in the direction of the highlighted notes on the top-left corner) while the other players play their instruments: violin, drum, and trumpet. The roles are decided randomly among the four players. Players have to keep time to play the tune; if one of the players plays the instrument incorrectly, that player gets hit by a hammer or Koopa Shell from the audience. The player(s) with the most accurate timing of playing or conducting win(s).

On [[Mini-Game Island]], the player always does the role of the conductor and must do it without any mistakes in order to clear the minigame.

The minigame can be purchased from the [[Mini-Game House]] for 350 [[Coin]]s when it is available for purchase.

==Ending==
The conductor turns around and bows as the audience cheers. Coins are thrown at the winning player(s) as a spotlight shines on them. The curtain then closes. If the players did nothing, the audience does not cheer and the curtain simply closes.
