Incorporating upcoming minigames + current into a Mario Party style game?

A nice idea! This kind of reminds me of @EnjoyCookies’ suggestion on another thread:

I was planning an Elevator: Source based gamemode in which multiple players go through randomized obstacles within an elevator. What I was planning for this to be more different is if the events players go through on the floors they arrive on are much more player-interactive, that way it is worth actually earning units from it.

For Example! Players arrive at a floor which is infested by zombies and the only way to make it out alive is to pick up a sword and fight your way through the zombies to get to an elevator that is on the other side of the room!

Killing a certain amount of zombies could be worth 8 units each and making it to the other side of the room could be 100 units!However, that is just my silly idea.

During a game the players could go through about 12 or more floors before returning to the lobby.

I thought it was a good way to “bring back” Elevator: Source while giving it an actual purpose within TU rather than being a one-trip nostalgia novelty. Really, though, any sort of “minigame rush” style gameworld would be fine by me, and being a mix of already available games would make it a prime way to introduce players to the various activities present in TU without having to commit to playing through the game fully. Since everything already pays out round by round, the payouts are already set.

There are only a couple things I don’t quite like with your idea. First, I don’t think there really needs to be a board or any overall scoring. It could be cool, but I think it might be better to just do a rush of various minigames (but that’s just me). The other potential problem is loading times, since the minigames are so different and would likely require loading into different maps.
