Match Faker, titled Hide and Sketch in European and Australian releases, is a General minigame in Mario Party: Island Tour.
Layout[]
The top screen depicts a wooden board with twelve tiles, and behind it is a forest. Each of the board tiles depicts a different Mario enemy or species. The Touch Screen features a light green paper sheet depicting a very faint emblem of the player's character.
Gameplay[]
For the first fifteen seconds, the characters have to observe the Mario enemies and species on each and use the Touch Screen to quickly take notes on the order in which they appear. After the fifteen seconds, the tiles flip over. Using the Touch Screen beforehand is optional, but it gives each player the option to write down mnemonics for memorizing what each tile depicts.
The next part of Match Faker features three rounds. A round starts by selecting a random enemy or species, and the characters are instructed to find and select the tile depicting it. Any character who selects the correct tile earns a point for that round. When the round is completed, the next one begins, following the same procedure as before. After the three rounds are completed, the game determines the winner by whoever has the most points, the highest of which can be three because the minigame has the same number of rounds.
Controls[]

Trivia[]
- The American name derives from "matchmaker", while the British name is a portmanteau of the game hide-and-seek and "sketch."
