Hot Rope Jump is a 4-Playerminigame inMario Party,Mario Party 2, andMario Party Superstars.

Introduction[edit]

InMario Party,Lava Bubbles start to appear one by one until the two large ones appear at the sides, causing all the smaller Lava Bubbles to jump into their rope formation.

InMario Party 2 andSuperstars, the small Lava Bubbles circle around another small one until the two larger ones appear, after which the smaller Lava Bubbles jump into their rope formation. In these games, the Lava Bubbles start off blue before turning orange after the first fivejumps.

Gameplay[edit]

Characters jump over arope made of Lava Bubbles. The height of the jump depends on how long the player holds down or. Once 10 jumps are reached inMario Party 2 andMario Party Superstars, the Lava Bubbles turn from blue into red. The Lava Bubbles move faster and faster as the minigame goes by. InMario Party, the minigame ends in a "Miss!" if one player touches the Lava Bubble rope, making them losecoins in Party Mode. However, if the four players reach 20 jumps, they all win the minigame. InMario Party 2 andSuperstars, the last player standing wins. InMario Party 2, the counter stops counting after 99 jumps, and if all the players are burned, the minigame ends in a draw; inSuperstars, this is the case only if all four players are burned simultaneously.

OnMini-Game Island inMario Party, the player must jump over the rope 40 times to clear the minigame, a rule that is not normally implemented in other modes. Similarly, inMario Party 2, while playing theMini-Game Coaster mode, the player has to jump a total of 50 times to pass the minigame.

InMario Party 2, the gamefreezes after 1,000 jumps.^[1]

InMario Party Superstars, the Lava Bubbles are designed like in previousMario Party installments, and the minigame ends if two or more players reach 99 jumps. Additionally, an "Endless" mode is available in Free Play; as the name implies, it continues until everyone is burned or until after 9,999 jumps, and it saves records.

InMario Party, the minigame can be purchased from theMini-Game House for 300coins when it is available for purchase. InMario Party 2, it can be purchased fromWoody for 50 coins.

Ending[edit]

InMario Party, if all the players successfully jump 20 times before being burned, the small Lava Bubbles disappear, and all the players do winning poses. However, if one player touches the flame, the other players perform losing poses after the Lava Bubbles disappear, while the one player already burned says their losing quote. If multiple players touch the flame, the loser is chosen randomly. On Mini-Game Island, after the Lava Bubbles disappear, the screen fades to black without the players performing poses.

InMario Party 2 andSuperstars, if one player successfully jumps the rope while the other players are burned, that player does a winning pose.

Notes[edit]

• InMario Party, because the song "Full of Danger" is used in the Mini-Game Island version of this minigame instead of the usual "Let's Limbo," this is one of the two minigames in theMario Party series to have a version that has a different music track in the same game, the other one beingWhat Goes Up... inMario Party 6, where the music track depends on the time of day.
• This is one of two minigames in the originalMario Party to feature losing text, the other beingHot Bob-omb.
