List of Mario Party 8 minigames
There are 73 minigames (81 counting the repeated Duel games) in Mario Party 8. Most of the minigames feature motion controls as the Wii Remote is used in the game. Minigames marked in gold are coin-collecting minigames.
4-Player minigames[edit]
1-vs.-3 minigames[edit]
2-vs.-2 minigames[edit]
Duel minigames[edit]
Duel minigames are when two players fight each other. The winner uses the Dart Wheel to take either coins or Stars from the opponent. If both players do not have anything, MC Ballyhoo will pay the winner 10 coins. If one player does not have anything, the duel will be called off. There are 27 Duel minigames in all (making this minigame category the largest), and eight of them are two-player versions of other minigames.
Battle minigames[edit]
In Battle minigames, all players (or teams) throw in a specific number of coins. The first-place winner takes 70% of the total, the second-place player takes 25%, and the third-place player takes 5%. There are five Battle minigames in all.
Challenge minigames[edit]
Challenge minigames are found only in Star Battle Arena and Duel Battles in Party Mode. They are for one player only. If a player lands on a Challenge Space, the solo player plays a Challenge minigame. If the player wins, they use the Dart Wheel to find out how many coins they win. There are three Challenge minigames.
The Last minigame[edit]
The Last minigame is the only minigame against Bowser. The player must defeat him to claim the Star Rod.
Extras Zone minigames[edit]
These minigames are found only in the Extras Zone. Players can play as either Super Mario characters or Miis. There are eight extra minigames in all; four of them can be bought at the Surprise Wagon in the Fun Bazaar.
