The mini-game Catchy Tunes.

Catchy Tunes is a 4-player mini-game that is found in Mario Party 7.

Introduction

The introduction of the mini-game shows all of the music symbols falling on one of the two xylophones making musical sound notes after it hits on the ground, disappeared. The screen then fades and then it shows the whole play field that has the players on it, then the mini-game begins.

Gameplay

The two players are on the top side that are between one of the two xylophones while the other two players are on the giant piano keys; the two players have to Jump to get to the top side where the two players are.

The players attempt to gather 5 different music symbols that fall down onto the ground within the time limit of thirty seconds. Each different music symbol is required to win the mini-game. The music symbols came from the sky as they fall down onto the floor; the shadow of the falling music symbol hints that there's a symbol that is going to hit on the ground. If the music note hits on the ground, the note disappears as the players cannot gather disappeared music symbols.

The players can stun the players by simply Jumping on them, if the player is stunned; the stunned player can barely move and barely jump for a brief moment.

If one of the players successfully collected 5 certain different notes before the time is up, the player wins. If the time is up and players didn't get all the required notes, it is considered a tie.

Trivia

The name is a pun on the phrase "catchy tunes" since the characters have to catch falling notes (tunes).
