- “Baby Bowsers are poppin' up everywhere, so stomp on 'em.”
- —Mini-game Mode, Mario Party 3
Baby Bowser Bonkers is a Duel minigame found in Mario Party 3. It is based on the well-known arcade game Whack-a-Mole. The objective of the minigame is to score as many points as possible by hitting the heads of the Baby Bowsers.
Setting[edit]
The minigame takes place on a yellowish rock surrounded by a vast lake of lava. It is surrounded by a high rectangular fence, resembling a cage. The rock itself has various small and fourteen large round holes in it. The fourteen larger holes are framed by metal rings with four spikes on each side.
Gameplay[edit]
After the game starts, the players can roam freely over the yellow rock. While the game is in play, numerous Baby Bowsers pop up from the fourteen large holes in the ground. The two players have to score points by jumping on the Baby Bowsers' heads. For each hit Baby Bowser, the player obtains one point. When the timing is right, players can also consecutively bounce from one Baby Bowser to the next without touching the ground. Although this method saves the player some time, this does not yield the player any additional points. After 30 seconds, the player with more points wins.
Controls[edit]
