Call of the Goomba is a 4-Player and Duel minigame in Mario Party DS.

Overview[edit]

The opening shows the player briefly turning a crank to the tune of Ground Theme from Super Mario Bros. to lure the Goombas over.

Players try to lure the most Goombas over to their side, which is done by steadily turning the crank. The notes appear clear if the speed is incorrect but multicolored if the player cranks at the correct speed, and Goombas approach them. After 30 seconds or once every Goomba has picked a side, the minigame ends, and whoever lured over the most Goombas wins. In the event that no players lure over Goombas or they have the same number, it is a tie.

Controls[edit]

  • Stylus – Turn the crank

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Listen to the tempo of the intro tune, then turn the crank to re-create that speed as closely as possible. The better you do, the more Goombas you'll lure."
  • Tips"Your music box will emit colorful notes when you're cranking at the perfect speed."
