'''Test for the Best''' is the only secret [[minigame]] mode in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. This mode is similar to Mini-Game Decathlon from ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Decathlon Park from ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', Decathlon Castle from ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', and [[Score Scuffle]] from ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', though this mode is for one player only. The player character appears in a hot-air balloon, [[MC Ballyhoo]] and [[Big Top]] alongside them. MC Ballyhoo tells the player character that the goal is to earn [[point]]s based on their performance in 10 minigames (and be graded with an F, D, C, B, A, or A+, the last one automatically netting the player 1,000 points); every point they earn sends them a foot into the air, and so the real objective is to fly as high as possible. | '''Test for the Best''' is the only secret [[minigame]] mode in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.
