Word Herd

Template:Minigame-infobox Word Herd is a mic minigame in Mario Party 6. The player with the Mic has to guide a herd of Goombas away from the three other players, who try to punch them out of the corral.

Gameplay

The player with the Mic can say "Up", "Down", "Left" and "Right" to guide the herd away from the other players, he/she can also say "Scramble" to disperse the herd. If there's at least one Goomba left, the solo player will win. However, if all the Goombas are gone, the three other players will win.
