Mowtown is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 6 .

There is a page based on this minigame in the Miracle Book called "Lawn Mowin' Fun" with Mario mowing the lawn. When the page is activated, Mario starts singing, Luigi himself starts mowing, Peach catches the grass trimmings from Mario's mower, some Shy Guys are shown hiding in one of the grass baskets, and the shrubs bloom.

Overview[edit ]

The object of the minigame is to mow the most grass on a small area in a park. To start mowing, the player must press and hold the A Button button while moving around. The grass is automatically transported to the player's basket. The player with the most grass in their basket when time runs out wins. If everyone gets the same amount of grass, the minigame ends in a draw.

The only difference between day and night is that there are lit torches in the background at night.

Controls[edit ]

  • Control Stick – Change direction
  • A Button – Move forward and mow
  • B Button – Move backward (won't mow)

In-game text[edit ]

  • Rules"Tame the wildly overgrown lawn with your lawn mower! Whoever collects the most grass clippings wins!"
  • Advice"If you hit a wall or an opponent, back up and start mowing again."

Naming[edit ]

The minigame's name is a pun on the name of the record label Motown owned by the Universal Music Group.
