Mush Rush is a Bowser minigame in Mario Party Advance.
Gameplay[]
The player's character is equipped with a hammer, which they must swing at the incoming Koopa Kids to prevent them from stealing the three Mushrooms. Some Koopa Kids use extra effort to try and get the Mushrooms, such as switching lanes and faking moves toward the other lane. The Koopa Kids come in green, blue and red varieties, each differing in behavior: green Koopa Kids simply walk toward the Mushrooms; blue Koopa Kids take more than one hit to defeat; and red Koopa Kids sometimes try to charge for the Mushrooms.
Occasionally, smacking a Koopa Kid out of the area causes an exclamation mark to appear over the player character's head; the next Koopa Kid that the player's character hits rolls backward out of the lane, knocking out any Koopa Kids in the same lane. If a Koopa Kid successfully steals a Mushroom, the other Koopa Kids begin to move between the lanes. The number of remaining Koopa Kids are displayed in the upper-right corner, in the form of a fraction showing how many of the total number of Koopa Kids are left. Once every Koopa Kid has been knocked out, the player's character wins at the minigame, but if the Koopa Kids steal every Mushroom, the minigame ends in a loss.
