Spin Off is an 8-Player minigame in Mario Party 7 .

Overview[edit ]

Two characters on each team are controlling a rotating cylinder with halves of pictures of enemies from the Super Mario franchise (a Goomba, Bob-omb, Thwomp, Whomp, and Chain Chomp). Each player on a team controls one half of the rotating pictures. When a player character presses the lever to stop a slot, the slot makes one complete rotation before stopping. The first team to form three different pictures achieves victory. This is the only minigame in Mario Party 7 to use the characters' main victory animations from the previous installments.

At the end, the rotating cylinder controller sticks go back into the machine, and the veteran characters do their Mario Party 4 to Mario Party 6 winning animations (except Birdo and Dry Bones, who do their same animations as usual) instead of the new ones they received in this game, as in the game's E3 trailer.[1] When the characters win, they do not say their winning voice lines, instead simply exclaiming.

Controls[edit ]

  • L Button / R Button – Stop / Start

In-game text[edit ]

  • Rules – "Stop the slots to make the character shown. You must make 3 different characters to win."
  • Advice – "Once the slot stops, press the button to start it anew. The slot will make 1 full rotation before stopping."

Naming[edit ]

The minigame's name comes from "spin-off," which is where another character from a media stars in their own.
