Fruit Talktail
Template:Minigame-infobox Fruit Talktail is a 1-vs.-3 Mic minigame in Mario Party 6. Its name is a pun on the dessert fruit cocktail. This minigame is similar to a 1-vs.-3 version of the classic Mario Party minigame Mushroom Mix-Up and its Mario Party 2 counterpart, Hexagon Heat.
Gameplay
For the single player
The goal is to make the other three players fall off the platforms and fail. The player must speak commands into the microphone. If a command is spoken correctly, all platforms other than those with the mentioned picture will collapse; if there are any opposing players on the other platforms, they will fall and be eliminated from the minigame.
For the three players
The goal is to stay on the platforms without falling off. Once a player falls off, they lose. If a player is standing on a platform that is preparing to collapse, they must move to a fruit platform that is not preparing to collapse in order to stay in the game.
