4 PLAYER MINI-GAMES
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=======================================================================
Awful Tower
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
In this game, you have to get to the top of the tower by jumping from block
to block. The blocks move back forth. The Hammer Bros. will throw hammers at
you, and when you get close they will run away. To jump distances, simply
back yourself up and run-jump to the next block. Once you get to the arrow
block you will win. Try not to slip off a block, or you’ll fall!
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
The Beat Goes On
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
There’ll be lots of cussing in this game if you’re playing with other
people. Basically, the Shy Guys give out a tune and you have to copy it,
adding a new note at the end. Then the next person will get the turn, and
the next, and the next, then back to you. Try to make it stay in a pattern,
like : B, Z, A, B, Z, A, etc. That’s what the computer likes to do, anyway.
The computer usually messes up on their second try though, so you can be
last and be lucky.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
M.P.I.Q
Difficulty: 3/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
Toad will give out questions, that will be typed VERY slowly on the big
board. Once they are typed you need to guess them by hitting the block. You
can do this earlier, but you shouldn’t since the question will not be
finished. The one who hits the block will need to answer the question. If
they get it right, they get a point. If they get it wrong, they’re out. The
first person to 3 points wins. The questions Toad gives you are extremely
easy, and you should know most of them.
Cheat Tips:
Annoy everyone else who’s playing by continuously talking. Everyone around
you will get annoyed and probably guess wrong. Also, you can say “I know!”
and not tell anyone what the real answer is.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Treadmill Grill
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 9/10
This is one helluva fun game. The objective is to be the last one standing
on a pack of moving conveyors that rotate from time to time. You can ground
pound and punch your opponents hoping that they will fall off, but it’s
better of not doing anything and watching each of the other opponents kill
themselves while you’re just standing there. Podoboos will come out later,
and if you touch them, you automatically lose. Also, the conveyors get
narrower from time to time, so watch out!
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Picture Imperfect
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 9/10
Another nice and fun game. You will first get to see a face of a Mario
character, such as Toad, Mario, or the caterpillar. It will disappear and
you will have to make the same face, or at least get close to making the
same face. First, the top part will be moving, and when you see the right
picture, you need to time right and hit the block. For example, on Mario’s
hat, it will go L, G, W, M... when you see M hit it quickly! Then it will go
to the face parts and it moves faster. Whoever gets the most accurate
picture wins.
Cheat Tips:
Be extremely mean and cover the screen with your hands when it shows the
correct picture (before the game starts). Then, your human opponents will
not know what the character looks like.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Aces High
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 8/10
This game is a lot like Shell Shocked from Mario Party 2, except it’s fast
paced, more fun, and more intense. Fly around and fire missiles at your
opponents. If you fire a lot a Bullet Bill will fly out from your cannon.
They’re homing, so you can hit your opponents more easily. If you see a !
appear above you, immediately accelerate! Each person has 2 health, and if
you’re the last one standing you win. Hold Z until you see a bullet in your
compartment, then fire.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Rockin’ Raceway
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 3/10
This game literally sucks, and will literally hurt your hands and numb them
(not as bad as the rotating control stick in Mario Party 1). But if you want
to win, you’re gonna have to be hurt. Press A and B as quickly as you can,
but make sure that when you have only 1 carrot, you stop and wait for it to
recharge at least one more. The carrot icons will either bust your horse or
make it stop for 2 seconds. The orange one will give you max carrots
invulnerability and the blue one hurts you. Wait for the orange one and grab
it!
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Chip Shot Challenge
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 8/10
You need to swing the club so the ball gets in the hole. Basically, this is
golf, except it’s shortened. Don’t aim EXACTLY at the hole, aim a little
away otherwise the ball will miss. Also, adjust the angle, then swing.
Everyone swings, and the winner is either the one who gets the ball in the
hole or the one closest to the hole.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Cheep Cheep Chase
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 3/10
Repeatedly press A to swim, but dive when you see bombs in your path. Don’t
dive too early though, because you’ll get air right at the bomb, and it’ll
stun you so the big Cheep Cheep could eat you. The bombs move later on so
watch out!
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Mario’s Puzzle Party
Difficulty: 8/10
Fun Factor: 9/10
This is one of the hardest mini-games in Mario Party 3, but can be very fun
if you make it. Basically, this is Tetris, and when you get two blocks of
the same color they disappear. Combo the blocks so you can make garbage
blocks come to your opponents. Thwomps will also drop down, and you can use
them to distort your blocks. This game can give you headaches if you play
with the computer, since they often cheat. The first one to 100 points wins,
but you can adjust it up to 1000 in Toad’s mini-game room. I wouldn’t do
that if I were you though, it would be very long...
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Messy Memory
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
First, you see many items stacked on shelves, then Toads come in and mess
everything up, starting the game. The objective is to get the items where
they were before the Toads messed them up. Try to remember where the items
were in your head. Press Z to close the curtain so no one will copy you.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Ice Rink Risk
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
A huge Spiny will drop onto an ice rink and you have to survive by escaping
from it. It’s slippery do be careful! More Spinys will drop down after a
while, and they can change directions if they bump into each other. This
could be very hard or very easy, depending on when your opponents die.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Curtain Call
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
Koopas, Goombas, and Boos dance on a stage, once they leave, Toad will come
out and ask you where they were during their dance. His questions are mostly
“who’s the third person from the left?” and those kind. SO try to remember.
The people that guess it right move on, and it gets harder with the
placement.
Cheat Tips:
Choose a random person REALLY FAST once the guessing starts. This will make
everyone think you are right and choose the same thing. At the last minute,
change your answer.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Frigid Bridges
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
You need to carry a block to the other side by crossing a very slippery and
thin bridge, then come back, grab another block, and repeat until you have
three blocks placed. This could be tough, since it slows you down if you
fall, and you’ll fall a lot. Be careful of the Cheep Cheep halfway through,
and don’t get distracted by your opponent’s screen. Whoever gets to the
island first wins.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Toadstool Titan
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 8/10
Hit blocks around the stage. One of them has a mushroom. Whoever gets the
mushroom will turn giant and can take out the opponents for a short time. If
you’re not giant, then spread away from the giant to avoid getting hit
altogether. Once the giant goes back to normal the blocks come back and
you’ll have to find the mushroom again.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Water Whirled
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
I don’t hate this game anymore, now that I know how to play and figured out
the controls =p. Hold the control stick left/right to move when you are
turning a lap. Hold A to move forward, then rotate once you get to turns. 5
laps and it’s over. Try to hug the inner wall so you can get to the end
easier. This is a record game, so try to go as fast as you can!
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Bounce N’ Trounce
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
Jump high by pressing A. When you’re in the air, press Z to attack your
opponents hoping they will be kicked off the blocks. The blocks will start
falling halfway through, and this could be a good thing if you’re away from
your opponents as they’re fighting and losing on the other side of the
battlefield.
Cheat Tips:
Jump on someone’s head to stun them for a split-second. That won’t seem
much, but they’ll have space for others to beat the crap outta them.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Pipe Cleaners
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
The controls are on the pipes, and you have to hit them when you see Baby
Bowser in that pipe. Once you get used to it, you’ll have a big chance if
winning. Just make sure not to swing at everything if you don’t get it.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Snowball Summit
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 8/10
Build snowballs by pushing B repeatedly against the snow. Throw snowballs at
your opponents or move them against opponents. Best thing about them is that
you can use them to defend yourself from other snowballs – a good strategy
if you’re being ganged up. When there’s one person left on the screen
besides you, and they don’t have a snowball, immediately build one and make
it extremely huge, then press A to throw it at them. They’ll surely fall off
and you’ll win.
Cheat Tips:
Make a huge snowball as quick as you can and stand on the bottom edge. The
others will kill each other with snowball while you stand with your snowball
doing nothing. If they try to fire a snowball at you, it won’t hurt you
since it’ll just break your regular snowball. If there is one person left
and you still your huge snowball, lob it at him/her.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Parasol Plummet
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
You earn coins no matter what, but earning the most coins is hard. Let out
your parasol when the Hammer Bros. are dropping down coins, but put it away
once you see hammers. Try to be the guy at the top of all the other players
since you can get more bags and coins. This could be tough, as your
opponents can push you away and the hammer can beat you up.
=======================================================================
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BATTLE MINI-GAMES
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=======================================================================
Locked Out
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 9/10
I love this game. It’s just so many fun. The objective is to get a key that
matches the color of the door and use it to open the door. There are three
doors and four characters, so one of them will die. It will continue until
there are 2 characters left, and one of them will win. You can punch someone
to have them drop their key, but that rarely works =(.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Slap Down
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
A big flower picture is in the middle and many blocks are around it.
Throughout the game the blocks will reveal themselves. One of the blocks
matches the flower in the middle. When you see this one immediately press A
to slap down the flower. Whoever slaps first wins first prize. You rs. This
could make them think it’s the right picture and slap too. It even works on
the computer! Although I don’t recommend doing this, you could have much fun
seeing your opponent be so stupid.
Cheat Tips:
Roughly touch the A Button (don’t push it!) when a picture appears which is
NOT the right picture. Since you roughly touched it and you can hear the
sound, others will think it’s the one and push.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Storm Chasers
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
You need to chase down the storm cloud with your flower pot to make the
Piranha Plant grow. When it grows it flashes. Don’t go in your opponents’
way, because chances are the cloud will escape, and you’ll still be stuck
within your opponents. Whoever’s Plant grows the largest wins.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Stacked Deck
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 8/10
This game is based purely on luck, 100% luck, no skill needed (unless you
count Ground Pound as a skill =p). Ground Pound a random card. If it’s a
Toad, you go to the end of the line and continue the game. If it’s a Baby
Bowser, you die. If it’s a Boo, the order of the line gets scrambled, but
you don’t die. You never know which card is which, so it’s all luck. Kind of
like Russian Roulette.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Merry Go Chomp
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
Just like above. This game is all luck. Step on a colored part of the
spinning column. Whichever one ends up near the chomp, the chomp eats the
character on that part of the column, and it continues. All luck.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Eye Sore
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 8/10
Run around Mr. I 15 times to make him disappear. Touching him will hurt you
and stun you, so don’t do that. As you run, Podoboos will fall out. You will
see their shadow, so you’ll know where they will fall. If you touch them
you’ll be stunned. Try to go around them if they are in your way, don’t just
wait for them to get out of your way. Or you can jump... It’s not that hard,
I don’t understand why the computer sucks at this game...
Beat the Computer the Hard Way:
Want a challenge? Set the computer on Hard, then start the game. Give all
the computers a head start – have them run around Mr. I four times, then
start running. Can you still beat them?
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
All Fired Up
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 8/10
The podoboos are all over the place and you have to escape from them. They
will make circles, jump ropes, crosses, and other things around the circled
arena to try to stop you. Jump over the circles and try not to go near an
opponent, because they might bump you into the flame.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Three Door Monty
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
Toad, Boo, and Koopa will enter and/or exit different doorways. Once all of
them enter a certain doorway, a picture of one of the characters will appear
in the middle of the screen. You have to answer which doorway this character
entered last. The first one to answer gets first place, so be quick.
=======================================================================
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DUEL MINI-GAMES
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=======================================================================
Crowd Cover
Difficulty: 2/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
A big picture of a character is drawn on the middle of the board and three
pictures are on the bottom. Your job is to guess which picture matches the
one on the bottom. However, many characters walk around the picture,
blocking the expressions/movements of the characters. Once you see what you
need to see, you’ll know. It’s an easy game...
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Vine With Me
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
All you have to do is swing vine to vine. To make it easy, grab the next
vine just as you got on the last vine, it should work. If you fall, you’ll
be stunned. This can become annoying, but time your jumps as the vine is
closer to you.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Popgun Pick-off
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
Shoot Bowser and DO NOT shoot Toad. You will need to hold the control stick
left (HOLD, not press) to shoot the left window, and same with others. It’s
always put in the center. Each time you shoot Baby Bowser you get one point,
and you can score lots of shots in one round. Shooting Toad will cause you
to lose 10 points. A good strategy is to pause when Baby Bowser and Toad
come out, and get used to where they are, then resume and fire away.
Cheat Tips:
Pause a split-second before Toads and Baby Bowsers appear. You’ll see where
they are and you won’t have a chance of hitting a Toad, and more of a chance
of hitting Baby Bowser.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Tick Tock Hop
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
Jump over the minute hand as it circles the clock. This may seem easy, but
later the hour hand you start moving on starts doing nasty thing like
spinning the other way the minute hand is spinning, or slowing down the
minute hand while making itself quicker. Whoever touches the minute hand
loses, and it’s not easy to win here.
Cheat Tips:
Yell “JUMP!” a little too soon...
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
End of the Line
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
Make it to the end of the tracks without falling. When you fall down by
taking the wrong path, you start over. Memorize the wrong and right paths
and you should be fine. There are three sections with two passages each.
It’s always random.
Cheat Tips:
Look at the opponent’s screen and see where they are going. If they go the
right way and you go the wrong way, you can copy the opponent... Also, you
can yell out “LEFT!” to make your opponent think it really is left, but end
up going the wrong way.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Motor Rooter
Difficulty: 8/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
Make it to the end of the tunnel. To speed up, use the speed arrows. Bad
controls here, especially when you’re at the top. Avoid the watts, and rely
on the speed arrows. The maps in the middle show where the watts are and how
far you are and your opponent. But don’t look at the map too much, you’ll
lose track of the race.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Bowser Toss
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
Throw Bowser farther than your partner does. Repeatedly tap A to spin him
faster, and adjust your angle forward a little bit and higher, but not TOO
high, otherwise he won’t fly far enough.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Silly Screws
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
To get to the end you need to jump over screws. Press A to make the screw go
away from the wall, and B to go next to the wall. Once the screw is near the
next one, you’ll see an arrow. Make sure you stop repeatedly pressing either
A or B before you get to the arrow, otherwise you’ll go past the screw.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Baby Bowser Bonkers
Difficulty: 3/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
Jump on as many Baby Bowsers as you can, kind of like Whack a Mole without
the hammer. Actually you don’t need to necessary “jump” as when you touch
them you automatically kill them. Stomp on as many as you can. Many will
appear at the end, so you’ll have advantages.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Fowl Play
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
Chase the chicken around the farm and grab it with the B Button. If you lose
track of it, find the footprints and follow them. The chicken is fast. To
make matters worse, the split-screen can really piss you off. It’s best to
corner the chicken or chase it away from your partner, and then catch it.
Jump over the fence if you need to.
=======================================================================
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1 VS 3 MINI-GAMES
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=======================================================================
Hide and Sneak
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
When you’re the player that is looking for the others, don’t be fooled to
where the others go to. It will seem weird, but if (example) Waluigi’s last
run was to the rock, he may actually be hiding behind the log. Try to
predict where characters will hide. When you’re one of the ones that needs
to hide, use teamwork and don’t hide all in the same place, but don’t take
all separate places either, because it will be easier for the finder to
track you down.
Cheat Tips:
Mind boggle the opponent and tell him where you REALLY are. He won’t trust
you, of course, and choose something else.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Boulder Balls
Difficulty: 8/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
It’s practically impossible to win when you’re the one throwing boulders,
because the computer will cheat and somehow avoid the boulder, then get to
the top. But try to aim for the player that is closest to the top. If you’re
a runner, don’t always be in the same path and spread out from the others.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Tidal Toss
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
Combo up different techniques if you’re the wave-making player. For example,
jump many times, then do a ground pound. You can trick the computer into
thinking you’re doing a pattern, and then breaking the pattern with a few
ground pounds to knock them away. If you’re one of the three, try to jump
over the smaller waves and save a jump for the big one. Don’t stay near the
edge or the tide will throw you off.
Cheat Tips:
If you’re one of three, listen up: When you get hit and you’re near the
edge, you’ll be flashing invulnerable for about a second. This gives you
time to go back to the inner part. With this, it’s almost impossible to
lose.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Hand, Line, and Sinker
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
If you’re the fisherman, wait for the fishes to get in a certain position
where it’s perfect to catch them, then cast your hook. Or wait for them to
bunch up. If you’re a fish, avoid staying close to the others otherwise you
will be caught.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Ridiculous Relay
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
If you’re the lone player, speed up and never let go of the control stick.
You will get hit, and there’s no avoiding it. Avoid all goombas and keep
below the bullet bills. If you’re one of the three, make sure you know how
to pilot your vehicle and do it fast. There’s a bigger chance the top player
will win then the bottom ones. The Spider Tank controls are always the same:
Up+A, Down+A, Up+B, Down+B, so you can keep pressing them without even
looking at the screen.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
River Raiders
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
If you’re the lone player, avoid all the coins unless they’re scrunched up,
and go for the money bags making sure they don’t get to the other players
behind you. If you’re one of the three, take a side unless you’re the middle
player. If you’re the middle player, you’re screwed. The others should take
the left/right sides, but be aware of the logs. No matter what, you don’t
lose anything here, you will get coins.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Spotlight Swim
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
If you’re the lone player, dive under the water when the searchlights appear
to be ganging up on you. You will know where you are when you dive when it
shows the bubbles. Swim underwater away from the searchlights and it will be
easier to evade. Keep in mind that when a searchlight spots you, a ! will
appear, and you’ll have about a split-second to dive or you will lose. If
you’re one of the three players, follow the swimmer and his bubbles. Try to
predict where he will rise and keep the searchlight there. Actually, all
three searchlights need to be on the swimmer for him/her to get caught.
Cheat Tips:
Not really cheat tips, but oh well... if one of your opponents is on your
side as one of the three, and you want him to lose, you can keep your
searchlight away from the swimmer at all times. Since all three searchlights
need to spot the swimmer, this could be a good thing if your opponent has 10
– 19 coins and is right near the star.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Thwomp Pull
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
If you’re the lone player, you have a higher chance of winning. Just press
the button that shows up, then the next, and the next, and so on... The
three players are assigned a button, so when their button pops up they’ll
push it.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Coconut Conk
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
If you’re the lone player, roll away from the coconuts but make sure you
don’t get trapped in the corner. If you’re one of the three, don’t bunch up
and take different palm trees, then gang up.
Cheat Tips:
The three players: Make up different patterns in throwing down coconuts.
Have one person take the left side, one take the right, and one take the
center. You’ll have a higher chance of hitting the roller and you won’t be
hitting each other.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Crazy Cogs
Difficulty: 3/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
If you’re the lone player, trick the other by moving the cog one way, then
immediately the other way. Try to get them in the position where you know
they’ll be hit by bullet bills. If you’re one of the three players, stay as
far away from the bullet bills. You’ll knew when they’re coming when you see
their shadow. Don’t be fooled by the player controlling the cog!

2 VS 2 MINI-GAMES
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=======================================================================
Log Jam
Difficulty: 2/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
This game is so easy it’s fun. If you’re the log placer, just push the
button it says on the log. Same with the cutter, except it’s easier for him.
You shouldn’t screw up unless you do it on purpose.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Cosmic Coaster
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
Avoid the walls as you race through the coaster. You have a chance of
hitting many walls, and your partner may screw you up. When you reach the
point with passage in the middle, it’s best to pause and think of what to
do. Hitting a wall will slow you down, and the game is definitely not easy.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Picking Panic
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 6/10
If you’re a picker, pick up the fruit and throw it to your partner at the
right time. Note this with the three fruits, because they are worth the
most. It’s hard to grab, especially if your partner messes everything up by
throwing at the wrong time. Like the duel game Vine with Me, you need time
your fruit throw when you get to the part where your partner is closest to
you.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Eatsa Pizza
Difficulty: 2/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
This game is very easy. Repeatedly push A to dig your way through the pizza.
Eat the pepperoni and the good stuff first, then finish up all the crumbs.
You shouldn’t have so much trouble with this one, mainly because of it’s
easiness.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Etch N Catch
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
Trap the Toad face with a circle made by your magic marker to get a Toad.
The Toad can be annoying since he moves around so much. Make sure you’re
going the opposite direction as your partner to prevent colliding and less
chance of getting a point. Teamwork is required, so don’t cuss or beat up
your partner out of game if you mess the mini-game up.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Puddle Paddle
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
This mini-game is very, very simple. All you have to do is repeatedly press
A and steer using the awkward controls to grabs the coins and money bags the
Hammer Bros. throws. Go for the money bags and avoid the hammers.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Baby Bowser Broadside
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 7/10
Once again, teamwork is required. Shoot Baby Bowser once you start moving.
It’ll be hard to aim once you’re moving, but if you’re precise you can get a
shot along with your partner.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Slot Synch
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
If you’re playing with the computer as your partner, it’ll be easy for you,
since the CPU tends to get the same block you get all the time. Aim for Toad
and hit the block. Toad gives the most points, while Bowser subtracts one
point. You need good reflexes so if your partner hits first, do your best to
time it right and get the same picture.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Hyper Hydrants
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 4/10
If you press A, you’ll spray around the sidelines. Don’t press A though, it
wastes precious time and never really works. Aim for the small podoboos
first, then go for the big ones. But first, always aim for the podoboos that
are bunched up together.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Pump, Pump, and Away
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 5/10
Continuously press A and Z to pump up the rocket. Don’t press them too fast
though. Watch as your character gets the pump all the way to the bottom,
then press Z. Do it faster than a second, but slower than you would normally
tap A and Z/B in these types of games. Get a record if your rocket goes up
high!
=======================================================================
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ITEM MINI-GAMES
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=======================================================================
Swing N Swipe
This mini-game is easy. All you have to is hammer a Baby Bowser. No matter
what you still get an item.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Dorrie Dip
Ground pound Dorrie as soon as she passes Baby Bowser. She doesn’t
immediately grab the item, so make sure Baby Bowser isn’t near.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Swinging With Sharks
Time your jump by making the swing go high. If you do it right, you’ll land
on a barrel and get the item drawn on there. Otherwise you’ll land in the
water and get nothing.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Hey Batter Batter!
Baby Bowser will throw the baseball at you when the countdown reaches 0. Hit
it at the right time and it will go to an item. If you hit it too late, it
will fly up in the air and you get nothing.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Winner’s Wheel
Press A once the light is on the item you want, and it should come to the
item you want. Just don’t do it near Baby Bowser’s icon.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Bobbing Bow-loons
You need to fire an arrow and pop the balloon with the item you want. Make
sure the balloons aren’t in the middle when you fire, and a little off to
the top or bottom.
=======================================================================

GAME GUY MINI-GAMES
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When you land on a Game Guy space, Game Guy will come out. If you have more
than 0 coins, you will lose them all and play a mini-game that Game Guy
made. They are below. If you win, your coins are doubled. If you lose, you
lose all your coins. It’s very risky, since Game Guy’s games are all based
on luck. I wouldn’t land on the Game Guy spaces if I were you (unless you
had to). You will need to get 1000 coins by gambling in Game Guy’s room to
earn Mario’s Puzzle Party Pro.
=======================================================================
Game Guy’s Sweet Surprise
Predict which Chomp will eat the cake faster. Most of the time it’s the
Large Chomp. If you look in the top right corner, and it says x2 Large
Chomp, and times a big number for Small Chomp, the Large Chomp will always
win, unless the Small Chomp number is usually less than 10, it will have a
very, very small chance.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Lucky Seven
This game is played like Blackjack, except you go up to seven and you have
turn only once, twice if you want to roll again. The objective is to be on a
higher number than Game Guy’s. If you roll a 5 or above, it’s best to stay
and not roll again. Game Guy doesn’t roll his numbers TOO big, but he can
roll twice also...
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Magic Boxes
Luck again. Predict which box Toad will be in. There are two boxes, and if
you guess the wrong box, Baby Bowser will come out of there and you’ll lose
all your coins. It’s always random and there’s no specific box Toad is
always in. If you do win, you get the chance to double your coins again, or
lose them all. Then you can do it one more time. It’s better to just double
them once and get outta there.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Game Guy’s Roulette
Predict where the shell will stop. Place your bet on one part of the circle.
If the shell stops at that part, you get the amount of coins as it tells you
to:
(Thanks to VGMaster96!)
Koopa X 2
Bob-omb X 4
Goomba X 8
Boo X 16
Toad X 32
Shy Guy X 64
The Shy Guy has a very small part of the circle, so it’s extremely rare to
have the shell land on him. My strategy for this game is to place 10 coins
all the time on Toad. You won’t lose so much if you do lose, but you’ll win
320 coins if you win.

??? MINI-GAMES:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=======================================================================
Stardust Battle
You need to kill the “fake” Millennium Star here in order to actually win
Story Mode. First, the star will make 5-6 stars fall on you. When they turn
blue, immediately grab one before it fades away. When the Millennium Star
touches the ground, throw it at him, otherwise jump and throw at him.
Touching the Millennium Star stuns you. After you throw 2 stars at him, he
will change the course and fill it up with “water”. This doesn’t do much but
make you slower. It also won’t let you jump as high. The Millennium Star
will now throw 8-9 stars at you. Run in a circle on the outer parts of the
area until the last star has been throw and turns blue. Grab it and wait for
the Millennium Star to go lower, then throw it at him. Repeat the process
once more and the Millennium Star will change the area into ice. It’s
slippery, do stopping and trying to run back won’t be as easy. The best
thing to do is to hug the outer wall and run around until the Millennium
Star throws about 10-12 stars at you. Pick the last one up, as always, and
jump-throw it at him. Do this twice and you’ll win the battle.
