Cast Aways

Cast Aways is a 4-Player minigame from the original Mario Party on the Nintendo 64.

Overview

Cast Aways
Type: 4-Player
Time Limit: 60
Draw: Nobody Scores Any Points
Coin Minigame
Game: Mario Party
Console: Nintendo 64
Controls: Standard Controls
Music: The Wide, Wide Ocean
Controls (All):
Control Stick (Flick): Cast line

Coin minigame! Throw your glove out into the water and retrieve the coins, money bags, and chests that float by. A coin is worth a single coin, naturally, a money bag is worth five coins, and a chest is worth 10 coins.

There are three rows of moving cash. The amount you tilt your control stick determines which row you’ll throw your glove at. After your glove latches onto an item, you’ll have to reel it back in by rotating the control stick. Careful with your palms! If you miss the item, you’ll still have to reel your line back in.

This minigame was remade in Mario Party Superstars.
