| The goal of the minigame is for [[Mario]] to [[jump]] on as many [[Goomba]]s as he can in a 30-second time limit. The Goombas emerge from four pipes located in the small game room. For each Goomba that Mario thumps, he is awarded one point. However, [[Spikey (Super Mario RPG)|Spikey]]s also emerge from the pipes, and if Mario jumps on one, he loses one point. Rare [[gold Goomba]]s also emerge, and if Mario is fast enough, he can earn three points by [[stomp]]ing one. Since gold Goombas move faster, Mario has less time to hit them. Additionally, the more points Mario earns, the faster all enemies become, making higher scores difficult to achieve. One method to achieve high scores is for Mario to stand in the middle of the four pipes. As Goombas emerge, Mario can jump to one pipe, then return to the middle, then jump to another pipe, and then return to the middle, etc. Another method is for Mario to stand on top of one pipe and jump every time a Goomba emerges.
