Spin Off is an 8-Playerminigame inMario Party 7.

Gameplay[edit]

Two characters on each team are controlling a rotating cylinder with halves of pictures of enemies from theSuper Mario franchise (aGoomba,Bob-omb,Thwomp,Whomp, andChain Chomp). Each player on a team controls one half of the rotating pictures. When a player character presses the lever to stop a slot, the slot makes one complete rotation before stopping. The first team to form three different pictures achieves victory. This is the only minigame inMario Party 7 to use the characters' main victory animations from the previous installments.

Ending[edit]

The rotating cylinder controller sticks go back into the machine, and the veteran characters do theirMario Party 4 toMario Party 6 winning animations (exceptBirdo andDry Bones, who do their same animations as usual) instead of the new ones they received in this game, as in the game'sE3 trailer.[1] When the characters win, they do not say their winning voice lines, instead simply exclaiming.

Controls[edit]

  • L Button/R Button – Stop / Start

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Stop the slots to make the character shown. You must make 3 different characters to win."
  • Advice"Once the slot stops, press the button to start it anew. The slot will make 1 full rotation before stopping."
