Jump the Gun is a 2-vs.-2 mini-game in Mario Party 6. It later returns in Super Mario Party Jamboree.

Opening[]

One character on the first team mounts the cannon to launch a Bullet Bill into the first target, which their teammate proceeds to jump onto.

Gameplay[]

Each team features a character who controls a cannon that shoots out Bullet Bills that their teammate has to jump onto to use as small platforms to reach the finish line. The character with the cannon can only shoot one Bullet Bill out at a time at a specific target. If the teammate who has to jump across the Bullet Bills falls down the pit, a Lakitu arrives to carry them back onto the last Bullet Bill they stood on before falling. The teammate on either team who crosses the finish line first is the winner. If neither teammate on either team reaches the finish line within five minutes, the mini-game ends in a tie.

Ending[]

The winners perform their victory animations at the goal point. If the mini-game ends in a tie, every character performs their losing animation.

Flavor text[]
