Nut Cases is a 2-vs.-2 minigame appearing in Super Mario Party. Its name is a pun on the word "nutcases," a term for crazy or eccentric people.
Introduction[edit]
On the leaves of the tree, a Galoomba shakes it, causing acorns to fall. More Galoombas catch the acorns in boxes. Additional Galoombas place the boxes on the stumps. The screen fades out and fades back in, showing all boxes in place, as well as the players. The minigame then starts.
Gameplay[edit]
The minigame is set at the base of a tree. Teams must check various boxes for the number of acorns inside by feeling the strength of their Joy-Con rumbles; the stronger the rumble, the more acorns there are inside. If a player is confident that there is a large enough number of acorns inside any box they pick up, they must place it in with their team's collection. After one minute has passed or if both teams place five boxes on the sides, the team with more acorns wins. However, if both teams have the same number of acorns, the minigame ends in a tie.
On Challenge Road, this is the first challenge of Chestnut Forest and the 11th challenge overall. The goal is 15 points for the normal challenge and 20 points for the Master Challenge.
Because this is a minigame that requires the Rumble Feature to be switched on, it will not appear in a Mario Party or Partner Party if the Rumble Feature is switched off in the console's settings, but it can be switched on for the duration of the minigame through Free Play and Challenge Road.
