Tile and Error is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 7.

Layout[]

The minigame takes place on a raised square platform with a grid of 16 tiles in the middle of a stadium.

Gameplay[]

Both characters on each team must ground-pound the tiles to change them to the team's color, either red or blue. A character can ground-pound the edges and vertices between tiles to change more than one at once, specifically up to four of them. It is possible for a character to stun their opponent by either jumping onto them, punching them, kicking them, or ground-pounding them. If a character falls off the platform, a Fly Guy rescues them and puts them back onto the stage. When the 30-second timer runs out is, the team with more tiles matching their color wins, but if there are eight tiles corresponding to each team's color, the minigame ends in a tie.

Controls[]

  • Control Stick: Move
  • A Button: Jump
  • B Button: Punch
  • A Button (in midair): Ground-pound
  • B Button (in midair): Kick

Game data[]

  • Rules: Ground Pound the panels to flip over your team's color.
  • Advice: Ground Pound the edge between 2 panels to change both of them at once.

Trivia[]

  • The minigame name is a pun on the phrase "trial and error," meaning for one to keep trying at something until they succeed.
