Mario Medley is a 4-Player minigame from Mario Party 4.

Overview[edit]

Gameplay begins with Toad firing his popgun at when the "START!" message occurs, then the players jump into the water and swim. There are three laps, each featuring a different type of stroke, and each player tries to win the swim race. Every player has a stamina meter, which empties the faster they swim, and if a player's stamina is emptied entirely, they move very slowly. If no one meets the objective, it is a draw.

The ending shows the winning player waving from the water, and if a draw occurs, the swimmers all stop moving.

A Bowser plate can be unlocked for the Present Room by reaching the goal within at least a minute.

Controls[edit]

  • B Button + A Button (Simultaneously) – Breaststroke
  • L Button R Button (Alternately) – Backstroke
  • B Button A Button (Alternately) – Crawl

In-game text[edit]

  • Game Rules"Breaststroke, Backstroke, and Crawl. You must do a 25-meter lap of each different stroke to win this race."
  • Advice"If you swim too hard, you'll get tired, so watch your heart meter carefully!"
