Four Player Mini-Games |
|
Face Lift- Pull on Bowser's face to match the one in the center. Press and hold A on any part of Bowser's face and move the control stick as far out as you want to. You can also press B on any section of face to restore it to default. Tip: Watch the face closely at the beginning when it's a big picture, and mimic the movements it makes. It's more accurate than the little picture that stays there the whole time. Crazy Cutter- There is only thing to know about this game: move the control stick in the direction you want to go and hope you can stay on the line. To get coins, all you have to do is score 80 points which will free the character. You have the option of going up or down at the start of each match. Which way you should go varies on the picture. Goomba: Down, Bob-omb: Down or Up (experiment to see which you're better at), Boo: Up. Hot Bob-omb- This is a revenge game. Pick who you want coins from and point the control stick towards them and leave it there. Press A to throw it. If you dont care who loses, just press A. The loser loses 15 coins and they are split up between the other three players. Musical Mushroom- Get the chest on the center mushroom before anyone else can. The secret to this one is to keep the control stick pointed to the mushroom while the music plays. This way, you'll be ready to go as soon as the music stops. Also, dont bother beating people up. It just wastes time. Coin Block Blitz- Given time, this one can be quite fun. Blocks will either have one coin or an ammount dependent on how fast you hit it. With a turbo controller, I once scored 94 coins. Just go for the coins and hopw you get lucky. Ignorethe other players for the most part. Balloon Burst- In this one, timing is everything. you have to tap the A and B buttons to a steady beat. Try this beat: Tap B, wait 1 second, Tap A, wait 1 second, tap B and so on. That beat has worked well for me. Skateboard Scamper- Remember Piranha's Pursuit? This one has the same controls. Tap B as fast as you can and jump at about an inch before each row of Thwomps. Also be sure to jump and collect the coin bags. Box Mountain Mayhem- Punch the boxes to get coins. Sounds simple enough, right? It's not. After playing it a few times, you'll see why they call it "Mayhem"! If you punch a normal box, you get 1 coin automatically. If you punch a Whomp box, either nothing, 3 coins, 2 coinbags and a coin, or 3 coinbags come out. You'll have to be quick if you want to get them. Punching otehr characters can be helpful. Platform Peril- In this one, keep the control stick held in the diagonal up-right direction. The first jump is automatic, so don't worry about it. Try your best to stay out of the way of the large pillars. Only go for the coins if your losing or if you think you can keep your lead. Mushroom Mix-up- This game is quite simple and so is the strategy. When all the mushrooms are coming back up, go for the black one. You may get to the next one quicker by running around in circles, but it's risky! Treasure Divers- Swim to the bottom of the sea by repeatedly pressing A and collect chests. The big ones have 5 coins, there are 3 of them. The medium size chests have 3 coins, there are 3 of them. The smallest ones have 1 coin, there are 4 of them. Remember, you cant knock chests away from people, only the shark and squid can. Don't get greedy, it may be better to go for the faster, small chests first. Grab Bag- This game can be lots of fun (if you're good). Press B as fast as you can when you grab somebody. Once you have grabbed somebody, it will be pretty easy to get them again just chase them down as soon as you let go. For people that dont read instructions, remember: You can jump. Bumper Balls- Everybody knows this is the best minigame, right? All you have to do is knock people off the island. You're all on big beach balls. The best thing to do is let someone charge you, then, when they get close, move out of the way. When they try to stop, you should have a clean shot at them. This game is REALLY fun once you get good at it. I won the first time I played it. :) Tipsy Tourney- What's there to say? Move around on the platform and get the shell to hit all the tiles. Try to get the middle ones first. It is quite hard to get one tile out in the middle. Jumping doesn't really help, but you can try it. Bombs Away- Talk about tough! This game can be extemely hard or quite easy. Staying on the island is fairly easy, but getting the others to fall off is not. It does help to jump when a cannonball hits the island. Remember, if a cannonball hits you- Bye Bye! Mario Bandstand- Try to be perfect. The conductor is the best(to me) because if everyone gets all their notes right, the conductor is the only one to get coins, and it's noticeably easier to pull off. Dont be confused like I was, if you are the conductor, point the control stick in the direction of the note the blue box is on. If you are a musician, hit the A button when your notes come up. Good rythym is a must for this game. Cast Aways- Just because it's a rotating game doesnt mean it's not fun. In fact this is one of my favorite games. Give the control stick a small push for the first row, a half push for the second, and pull all the way back for the third. Dont always go for the chests. If you do, you will most likely miss, or end up waiting a long time. Every coin is important. Keep casting! Hammer Drop- Dodge the hammers and go for the coins. Jumping doesnt help much, but do it if you want. Stay as far as possible from the edges, the hammers will knock you off. Use the shadows to help guide you. Shy Guy Says- This one gets harder and harder. When the shyguy lifts up 2 flags, wait for one to go down. As the game gets longer the timing is faster. If you're not fast enough, the game picks for you. If you lose because of this, I have 2 words for you: Too bad. Key-pa-Way- This game isn't very tough. Too bad you can't punch. If you don't have the key, run into the koopas and try to hold them back. If you jump on the person with the key, you can "steal" it from them. Jump on the oil can to win. Buried Treasure- This game is more luck than skill. A turbo controller really helps, because you can put A on turbo and you'll dig much faster. The arrows do help, but I wouldn't recommend searching for them. Just hope you started clsoe to the chest. Keep your eyes open so you notice if you uncover a corner of the box. Running of the Bulb- A fun game, but only if you're good. If you have the key, stay away from the ghosts at all costs. If a defender gets caught, they become a zombie and chase the bulb carrier as well. Punch the zombie players to get them back to normal. Hot Rope Jump- This game is so easy it's funny. Jump when the rope comes down or you'll get burned! If everybody survives, they all get 10 coins. If someone loses, they lose 15 coins, and everyone else gets 5 coins. Be careful: It speeds up regularly. Stay alive or everyone will be mad at you. Slot Car Derby- This game is pretty hard. It took me nearly 2 months to finally get good at it. You can do it, with alot of practice. The only advice I have is to go full power most of the time and only let up if you start to smoke. When you're on the inside track, you need to slow down more for the turns. Good Luck! |
