Lava or Leave 'Em

[SirYoshi211]

A survival mini-game in Mario Party 8 that's a bit like Treadmill Grill. It didn't use the motion controls but it required the players to avoid a Podoboo that divides like a cell as time progresses.

The D-pad is used to move around and the 2 button to jump.

It is one of my favorite Four player mini-games from Mario Party 8.  Despite not using the motion controls for it. I liked navigating through the Podoboos as they got into greater numbers. Sometimes I was pushed into the podoboos by those jerk computers. An overall, fun mini-game.

Any thoughts about this mini-game?

This minigame was very easy against CPUs. They tend to run directly into the Podoboos.

Pretty much this. Podoboos may be large, but there's still plenty of room to move around. The mini-game overall is just like Lava Tile Isle/Treadmill Grill, in a way.

They can separate during play, there is still room to move around as the Podoboos can change directions. There are no enemies that move around and take players out in Lava Tile Isle.

I can see the resemblance to Treadmill grill, but it's like this mini-game is a downgraded easy version. The land gradually breaking away would've made it harder and more exciting.

It's a good one but I tend to be trapped by the fireballs occasionally. But overall, I like to evade these and to be sure of not being hit, or even worse, fall in the lava... Still, it's interesting with a good atmosphere to me for that sort of survival minigame. Of course, it's a little easier than an other minigame in Mario Party 3 (like you all said) where there were treadmills that were moving you around and decreasing in size, this one is really not easy.

Yea, so I played with cousins. ^^ It's much more fun!

Obviously, but sadly I am not lucky enough to get local players to play with.

This is one of those minigames I wish you could fight each other in.
Would make it much more intense.

...then again, wouldn't Mario Party 8 have enough fighting games at that point...?

...oh well, it was fun to try and survive in this one as well, especially when you compare the level of difficulty surviving compared to the other two (saying no one is actually fighting).
It just somewhat disappointed me in that way whenever I played it, though...

It's true that it could have done a good minigame to fight each other with how the actual platform is done and with all those fireballs, I would have find this really intense too, but oh well, it's still okay with me but you're right, it would be so awesome.
