Players have to listen to [[Toad]] when he is asking a question based on the activities on the [[Mario Party 3#Battle Royale Spaces|board]], [[Mario Party 3#Playable Characters|players]] or anything related. The first player to answer three questions correctly wins. First, Toad will slowly show the question letter by letter. A player must press {{button|n64|A}} to hit the buzzer and answer the question, and players can hit the buzzer before the question is fully revealed. An "O" means the answer is correct and an "X" means the answer is incorrect. If an answer is incorrect, the player who answered the question gets squashed by a block and loses his or her next turn. Players are also squashed if a question is not answered within five seconds.
