Pipe Maze is a 1-vs-3 minigame from Mario Party. It is based on the Japanese game amidakuji.
GameplayEdit
In this minigame, there is a maze-like network of pipes with four entrances and four exits. The solo player is given a Treasure Chest, which they must drop down one of the pipes. There are numerous twists and turns in the maze, so the player must watch carefully and see which pipe leads where. Additionally, the entire maze is scrolled through quickly, which can be a challenge to track the route of the pipes. The player who receives the Treasure Chest receives ten Coins from it.
The minigame can be purchased from the Mini-Game House for 350 Coins.
