Mario Party: The Top 100:

Mario Party Superstars:

GOOOOOOOAL!! is a 1-vs-3 minigame in Mario Party 4, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars. Its name is a reference to the prolonged o heard when excited sport commentators observe a tension-breaking goal from a soccer player.

Introduction

The game is set on a soccer field with the solo player as the goalie. The team players run into the picture and get their soccer balls. They turn towards the goal, and the game begins.

Gameplay

The goal for the team is to kick ten soccer balls into the goal within 30 seconds. However, the solo player tries to defend the goal in order to win. The teammates can hold   to charge up their kicks. Two balls can collide with each other and be knocked away. If the team kicks ten balls into the goal, the team wins; otherwise, the solo player wins. In Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars, the solo player takes a wider stance.

Ending

After the game is over, in Mario Party 4 and Superstars, the winning side is shown on the soccer field's jumbotron. If the solo player wins, they will do their victory pose while the team players perform their losing poses; if the team players win, it is vice versa.
