Be My Chum! is a 1-vs.-3 Micminigame inMario Party 7.

Gameplay[edit]

The solo player can call out commands by speaking into theMic. If the Mic settings are set to "Use Controller", the commands are selected from a blue box. The commands are "Cheep Cheep," "Sushi," "Blooper," and "Lakitu" (Lakitus dropSpinies). If the solo player says "Goomba," a Goomba in the background jumps, but this does not affect gameplay. The other three playersswim around in the water, using theControl Stick to avoid the attacks. For the solo player to be victorious, they must use the commands and eliminate the other three players.
