Kamek's Card Tricks is a Boss Battle minigame in Mario Party: Star Rush.

Introduction

Four beams of magic reveal Kamek, who then loudly laughs at the players.

Gameplay

Picking a card.

Players are shown cards, and are told to pick a card with the arrows facing down. Cards with up to three arrows can be shown, and more arrows pointing downward mean more points from hitting Kamek. However, Kamek can flip cards upside-down, reversing the direction of the arrows; if the player picks a card with arrows that point upward, the player moves backwards, and if the net sum causes the player to not move downward, no points are awarded and no damage is dealt. Allies can assist in this minigame by randomly picking an additional card (usually having only one arrow) to add to a player's total. Players can reach the maximum of 5 levels down only if they have multiple allies in the Toad Scramble mode. After the first round, a card is added with Kamek's icon on it. If players pick the card with Kamek's icon on it, Kamek attacks them by summoning a thunderbolt with his magic, deducting one point.

When half of his health is depleted, Kamek gets angry, adds more Kamek cards and reverses more cards. During this time, he can even swap a card's position with another card. Whoever deals the final blow to Kamek earns a bonus 3 points. In Toad Scramble, he reveals a Star upon defeat. Kamek has 24 hit points.

Ending

Once the last blow hits Kamek, he shrinks back down to his normal size; dazed, and then explodes.
