Face-Lift (minigame)

Not to be confused with Face-Lift.

Face Lift is a minigame found in Mario Party and a Battle minigame found in Mario Party 2. The game is based on the title screen of Super Mario 64, where the player can alter Mario's face.

Introduction

• Mario Party: Bowser's face will appear on the screen and be altered. It shrinks to fit in the center revealing the four splits for each player. Each character's name will appear on each split screen to indicate their halves.
• Mario Party 2: A star will fly around one of the characters' heads, then its face will be altered. The same action above occurs.

Gameplay

The objective of the game is to change the character's facial elements (nose, mouth, ears, etc.) to distorted positions accurately as possible. The player who has the most accurate distorted positions wins.

The minigame reappears in Mario Party 2 as a Battle minigame. The faces that appear in Mario Party 2 are those of the six playable characters. Only Bowser's face is used in Mario Party.

Ending

• Mario Party: The camera zooms in the winning border with coins around it, or, in case of a tie, the winning faces will stay in the borders while the losing faces will shrink away with the word "Miss!" in it.
• Mario Party 2: A rainbow-colored star floats around the person that had the most points.
