Puddle Paddle is a 2-vs-2 coin-collecting minigame found in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Superstars.
Gameplay[edit]
The game takes place in a crystal cave with a little lake with a tiny island in the center. Teams on rafts attempt to collect coins and coin bags from the Hammer Bro on the island in the center. A team must work together to row its raft. If one of the teams gets hit by a hammer, that team is unable to collect coins for a bit. When the timer runs out, the teams get to keep whatever number of coins they got during the game, and the coins are added to their coin totals.
Ending[edit]
Teams that collected more than one coin hop in place on their rafts while holding on to their oars as the Hammer Bro shakes his head. If a team collected no coins, that team sags in dismay.
