Melon Folley
Template:Minigame-infobox Melon Folley is a single-player minigame found in Mario Party Advance.
Introduction
Before each round, barrels fall onto the arena, followed by the melons.
Gameplay
The goal of the game is for the player to try to collect all the watermelons and the melon on the rafts before either the time runs out or he or she falls into the water.
Each watermelon gives the player 100 points, but collecting the melon last earns the player 1000 points. When the player jumps onto another raft, the one they stood upon falls into the water. If the player stays on a wooden raft too long, the raft eventfully falls down into the water with the player.
In Free Play, the player must see how long he or she can survive as the levels increase in difficulty, with barrels being added to some of the platforms in some levels. Collecting a melon slowly earns 10 points, and fast earns 20; collecting the melon last earns the player 2000 points. After each round, the player's remaining time is also added to their overall score. If the player is stuck on the wooden raft or the player falls into the water accidentally, the minigame ends. The minigame also ends after 30 rounds have passed; as such, the maximum score that the player can earn is 77,760 points.

Trivia
- The European release of Mario Party Advance changes the melon to a pear. The description is changed to acknowledge this, though the name (as well as its name in several other languages) still refers to melons.
