Magmathon (Hot-Scotch in the British English version) is a general minigame in Mario Party: Island Tour .

Overview[edit ]

The players press buttons to jump to different platforms lettered A, B, X, or Y rising from the lava. Although it is impossible to fall into the lava, the players can still lose time by pressing the wrong button. Every time a character jumps into a rock platform, two new ones will rise in front of it, each with different letters representing which button should be pressed. The first player to the other side of the lava wins.

Magmathon is also available in Time Attack as the first minigame. The bonus objective is done by not trying to make false moves.

Controls[edit ]

  • A Button B Button X Button Y Button – Jump

In-game text[edit ]

  • Rules – American English: "Jump from rock to rock by quickly pressing the buttons that appear. Be careful! False steps waste time!"
  • Rules – British English: "Quickly press the buttons displayed on the rocks to jump towards the goal."

Naming[edit ]

Its American name is a portmanteau of "marathon" and "magma", while its British name is a portmanteau of "hot" and the children's game "hopscotch."
