Fruit Talktail is a 1-vs.-3 Mic minigame in Mario Party 6. Its name is a pun on the name of 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

The goal for the solo player is to make the other three players fall off the platforms and fail. The goal for the team players is to stay on the platforms without falling off. The solo player must speak commands into the Mic. If there is no Mic, the commands are selected from a blue box. If a command is spoken correctly, all platforms other than those with the mentioned fruit collapse. If there are any players on the other platforms, they fall and are eliminated from the minigame. As time passes, the platforms players are standing on fall faster. The solo player wins if they eliminate the other three players. The team players win if at least one of them survives until time is up.
