The minigame takes place in a nighttime jungle lake and starts with a Spear Guy playing four drum beats (two in Mario Party: The Top 100). Players on their lily pads take turns copying the beat the Spear Guy made, while beating another drum of their choice after copying the beat, with the next player having to replicate the beat as well as the added drum and then adding another. If a player plays an incorrect drum or does not play a drum in time, several Dancing Spear Guys throw torches at them, eliminating them. The last player remaining wins. In Mario Party 3, if a total of 16 drum beats is played and there are two or more players remaining, the minigame ends in a draw.
