'''Manta Rings''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. This is the only minigame in which the song "Swaying Gently" plays.
'''Manta Rings''' is a 4-player [[minigame]] from ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. Its name comes from the rings dropped by [[Manta]]s in both ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and the minigame itself.


==Introduction==
The game is from a rear view perspective. The goal is to swim through as many bubble rings as possible. They appear as the four players swim through the course. Each bubble ring is worth one point. Sometimes, a Manta Ray will swim by and drop three gold rings worth three points each. Hitting a [[Blooper]] will deduct one point, hitting [[Sushi]] will deduct two points, and hitting the giant [[Eel]] at the end will deduct three points.
From underwater, the four players are seen on a dock above. They jump in the water and turn around, ready to [[swim]]. Realistic crabs are seen holding flags at the starting point.


==Gameplay==
{{Mario Party 4}}
The object of the minigame is to swim through as many [[Bubble ring|ring]]s as possible. The minigame is seen from a rearview perspective. The rings appear as the four players swim through the course. Each ring is worth one [[point]]. Sometimes, a [[Manta]] swims by and drops two or three gold rings worth three points each. Hitting a [[Blooper]] deducts one point, hitting [[Sushi]] deducts two points, and hitting the orange eel at the end deducts three points. Any player with the most points wins. However, if all players have the same number of points, the minigame ends in a draw.

==Ending==

The players swim through a goal at the end, and the scene changes to show them above the water. The losers stay in the water with their losing voice clips intact while the winner jumps onto [[Toad]]'s boat and does a winning pose. If more than one player wins, they will stay in the water and wave. If a draw occurs, Toad will instead drive away, leaving all four players stranded in the water.
