==Gameplay==
==Overview==
In this minigame, there is a maze-like network of [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s with four entrances and four exits. The solo player is given a [[treasure chest|Treasure Chest]], which they must drop down one of the pipes. It is extremely difficult to determine which pipe will lead to which player, because the maze is scrolled through rather quickly. There are numerous twists and turns in the maze, so the player must watch carefully and see which pipe leads where. The player can only hope that the chest makes it to their position. The player who receives the Treasure Chest will receive ten [[Coin]]s from it.
