==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
In the minigame, the players are standing in a sandpit with four [[Whomp]]s. The Whomps randomly move along the side they are on and fall down, attempting to smash the players into the ground. One can tell if a Whomp is going to fall, because it starts to shake when about to fall. When some time has passed, more than one Whomp makes the notion that it is going to fall, and the first one to shake falls. However, if they start shaking at the same time, any one of them randomly falls. When a player is smashed by a Whomp, they leave a hole shaped like their character in the sand blocking the other player's way. The last player standing, or those still standing when the timer ends, wins the minigame. In Score Shuffle, however, the minigame ends when the 30-second timer runs out, or when all players are smashed into the ground.

The last player still standing, or those still standing when the timer ends, win the mini-game. The mini-game is also featured in the Score Scuffle mode. Here, however, the game ends when the 30 second timer is met, or when all players were smashed into the ground.


==Ending==
When the game ends, any player left will be seen in the box where the game is set, doing their victory dance. Interestingly, if any players did not manage to win, the spot where their shape was will be as if they never got hit there.
