Pipe Maze is a 1-vs-3 minigame from the original Mario Party on the Nintendo 64.
Overview
A: Drop chest
Pipe Maze is a simple one. A series of four interconnected pipes form a vertical maze, with each of the four pipes ending above one of the players. The minigame starts at the bottom of the maze, then pans up to reveal the full maze.
As the single player, all you have to do is select which pipe you want to drop the treasure down. The treasure chest will follow the pipe all the way to the bottom, and it’ll also switch to a different pipe if it hits a horizontal pipe. Whoever is below the pipe that chests comes out of gets to keep it and the 10 coins inside.
