Game Guy is acharacter inMario Party 3. He is aShy Guy who sports a yellowish mask, a bowtie, and a natural showman's attitude. He runs a game show-esque gambling event that players must play when they land onhis space. Players can usually double theircoins or lose all coins, though they can risk their money for higher multiples. The games all revolve on luck. Game Guy owns fourminigames:Game Guy's Lucky 7,Game Guy's Magic Boxes,Game Guy's Roulette, andGame Guy's Sweet Surprise. If a player lands on his space, Game Guy holds one of his minigames. Players can also call Game Guy on themselves or other players by using theLucky Charm without needing to land on his space.
The player can unlock the door where Game Guy is found, in theGame Guy Room, to be able to play his games at any time. Here, the player is given 10 coins and can bet any number of coins held, up to 100 coins. The goal is to reach 1,000 coins, but losing all of them ends the game. Winning this challenge unlocks the Rare minigameMario's Puzzle Party Pro, a modified version ofMario's Puzzle Party.
