'''Catch You Letter''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. The name is a pun on the phrase "Catch you later!"


The name is a pun off the phrase, "Catch you later!"
There is also a page in the [[Miracle Book]] that contains events based on the minigame, called "Special Delivery." [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Yoshi]] play on this page. When the page is activated, the [[Shy Guy]] and Yoshi trip, Peach gets buried in the bunch of letters she was carrying, and more letters fly out of the post office.


== Gameplay ==
The minigame has no differences when played at night in ''Mario Party 6'', except the streetlights are turned on to light up the area where the players compete. Only the daytime version appears in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars''.


The mini-game can be tough because of Shy Guy's speed as he runs around and panicks for his letters, but the minigame does require some skill and therefore, can be mastered. The player simply walks/runs toward a letter in an envelope, and the character will automatically pick it up. The player simply must catch up to the Shy Guy and collide with him, and the character will automatically give him the letter and the player will recieve a point.

The mini-game starts out with Shy Guy running around, panicking; all of his letters building up inside a letter shack. There are so many letters that the shack eventually bloats up and explodes, and letters go flying into the sky and begin falling down. Then the minigame soon begins.

In ''Mario Party 6'' and ''Superstars'', the losers line up in the center of the area, with the winner(s) standing in front of them as the camera angle switches to a frontal view. The Shy Guy then cheers from behind as the players perform their victory and losing animations. It is possible for there not to be a loser.

There is also a page in the Miracle Book that contains events based on the minigame, called "Special Delivery." Peach and Yoshi play on this page.

Regular white letters are worth one point, while pink love letters are worth three points.
