Buried Treasure is a 4-Player minigame from the original Mario Party on the Nintendo 64.
Overview
A: Dig
The aim of the game is simple: dig until you find the buried treasure!
All four players start the minigame by digging their way in from each corner of the screen. Once the timer starts and the digging commences, look for brown chest that’s randomly hidden somewhere within the dirt. If you come by a white sign instead, pay attention to the sign’s arrow to help point you to the treasure’s location.
Digging through the rock takes longer! Only go through if there’s no other option.
