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 youll fall!
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
The Beat Goes On
Difficulty: 6/10
Fun Factor: 6/10

Therell be lots of cussing in this game if youre 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. Thats 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 shouldnt 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, theyre 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 whos 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 its 
better of not doing anything and watching each of the other opponents kill 
themselves while youre 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 Marios 
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 its 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. 
Theyre 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 
youre 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, youre 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 its shortened. Dont 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. Dont 
dive too early though, because youll get air right at the bomb, and itll 
stun you so the big Cheep Cheep could eat you. The bombs move later on so 
watch out!
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Marios 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 Toads mini-game room. I wouldnt 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. Its 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 
whos 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 youll fall a lot. Be careful of the Cheep Cheep halfway through, 
and dont get distracted by your opponents 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 
youre 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 
youll have to find the mushroom again.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Water Whirled
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 7/10

I dont 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 its 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 youre 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 youre away from 
your opponents as theyre fighting and losing on the other side of the 
battlefield.

Cheat Tips:
Jump on someones head to stun them for a split-second. That wont seem 
much, but theyll 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, youll have a big chance if 
winning. Just make sure not to swing at everything if you dont 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 youre being ganged up. When theres one person left on the screen 
besides you, and they dont have a snowball, immediately build one and make 
it extremely huge, then press A to throw it at them. Theyll surely fall off 
and youll 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 wont hurt you 
since itll 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. Its 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 its the right picture and slap too. It even works on 
the computer! Although I dont recommend doing this, you could have much fun 
seeing your opponent be so stupid.

Cheat Tips:
Roughly touch the A Button (dont 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 its 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. Dont go in your opponents 
way, because chances are the cloud will escape, and youll still be stuck 
within your opponents. Whoevers 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 its a 
Toad, you go to the end of the line and continue the game. If its a Baby 
Bowser, you die. If its a Boo, the order of the line gets scrambled, but 
you dont die. You never know which card is which, so its 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 dont do that. As you run, Podoboos will fall out. You will 
see their shadow, so youll know where they will fall. If you touch them 
youll be stunned. Try to go around them if they are in your way, dont just 
wait for them to get out of your way. Or you can jump... Its not that hard, 
I dont 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, youll know. Its 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, youll 
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. Its 
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. Youll see where 
they are and you wont 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 its 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. 
Its always random.

Cheat Tips:
Look at the opponents 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 youre 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 dont look at the map too much, youll 
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 wont 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, youll see an arrow. Make sure you stop repeatedly pressing either 
A or B before you get to the arrow, otherwise youll 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 dont 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 youll 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. Its 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 youre the player that is looking for the others, dont be fooled to 
where the others go to. It will seem weird, but if (example) Waluigis last 
run was to the rock, he may actually be hiding behind the log. Try to 
predict where characters will hide. When youre one of the ones that needs 
to hide, use teamwork and dont hide all in the same place, but dont 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 wont trust 
you, of course, and choose something else.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Boulder Balls
Difficulty: 8/10
Fun Factor: 5/10

Its practically impossible to win when youre 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 youre 
a runner, dont 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 youre the wave-making player. For example, 
jump many times, then do a ground pound. You can trick the computer into 
thinking youre doing a pattern, and then breaking the pattern with a few 
ground pounds to knock them away. If youre one of the three, try to jump 
over the smaller waves and save a jump for the big one. Dont stay near the 
edge or the tide will throw you off.

Cheat Tips:
If youre one of three, listen up: When you get hit and youre near the 
edge, youll be flashing invulnerable for about a second. This gives you 
time to go back to the inner part. With this, its almost impossible to 
lose.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Hand, Line, and Sinker
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 5/10

If youre the fisherman, wait for the fishes to get in a certain position 
where its perfect to catch them, then cast your hook. Or wait for them to 
bunch up. If youre a fish, avoid staying close to the others otherwise you 
will be caught.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Ridiculous Relay
Difficulty: 7/10
Fun Factor: 4/10

If youre the lone player, speed up and never let go of the control stick. 
You will get hit, and theres no avoiding it. Avoid all goombas and keep 
below the bullet bills. If youre one of the three, make sure you know how 
to pilot your vehicle and do it fast. Theres 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 youre the lone player, avoid all the coins unless theyre scrunched up, 
and go for the money bags making sure they dont get to the other players 
behind you. If youre one of the three, take a side unless youre the middle 
player. If youre the middle player, youre screwed. The others should take 
the left/right sides, but be aware of the logs. No matter what, you dont 
lose anything here, you will get coins.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Spotlight Swim
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 7/10

If youre 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 youll have about a split-second to dive or you will lose. If 
youre 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 youre 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 theyll 
push it.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Coconut Conk
Difficulty: 4/10
Fun Factor: 4/10

If youre the lone player, roll away from the coconuts but make sure you 
dont get trapped in the corner. If youre one of the three, dont 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. Youll have a higher chance of hitting the roller and you wont be 
hitting each other.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Crazy Cogs
Difficulty: 3/10
Fun Factor: 6/10

If youre 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 
theyll be hit by bullet bills. If youre one of the three players, stay as 
far away from the bullet bills. Youll knew when theyre coming when you see 
their shadow. Dont 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 its fun. If youre the log placer, just push the 
button it says on the log. Same with the cutter, except its easier for him. 
You shouldnt 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, its 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 youre 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. Its 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 shouldnt have so much trouble with this one, mainly because of its 
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 youre 
going the opposite direction as your partner to prevent colliding and less 
chance of getting a point. Teamwork is required, so dont 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. 
Itll be hard to aim once youre moving, but if youre precise you can get a 
shot along with your partner.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Slot Synch
Difficulty: 5/10
Fun Factor: 5/10

If youre playing with the computer as your partner, itll 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, youll spray around the sidelines. Dont 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. Dont 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 doesnt 
immediately grab the item, so make sure Baby Bowser isnt near.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Swinging With Sharks

Time your jump by making the swing go high. If you do it right, youll land 
on a barrel and get the item drawn on there. Otherwise youll 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.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Winners Wheel

Press A once the light is on the item you want, and it should come to the 
item you want. Just dont do it near Baby Bowsers icon.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Bobbing Bow-loons

You need to fire an arrow and pop the balloon with the item you want. Make 
sure the balloons arent 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. Its very risky, since Game Guys games are all based 
on luck. I wouldnt 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 Guys room to 
earn Marios Puzzle Party Pro.

=======================================================================
Game Guys Sweet Surprise

Predict which Chomp will eat the cake faster. Most of the time its 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 Guys. If you roll a 5 or above, its best to stay 
and not roll again. Game Guy doesnt 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 youll lose 
all your coins. Its always random and theres 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. Its better to just double 
them once and get outta there.
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Game Guys 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 its 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 wont lose so much if you do lose, but youll win 
320 coins if you win.

=======================================================================
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 doesnt do much but 
make you slower. It also wont 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. Its 
slippery, do stopping and trying to run back wont 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 youll win the battle.
