Barrel Baron is a minigame in Mario Party 4.

Overview[edit]

Barrel Baron is played from the Extra Room. The player carries a pickaxe with them, trying to uncover as much oil as they can. When they feel a rumble (represented as a "!", "!!", and/or "!!!" over their head if the Rumble Feature is turned off), the player hits the ground with their pickaxe three times, revealing a small, medium, or large stream of oil, worth one, ten, and 100 points, respectively. Having the following number of points earns the player the following ranks:

  • 0–49: Gas Station Patron
  • 50–99: Gas Station Attendant
