'''Jump Attack''' is a [[minigame]] that can be accessed from the [[Playroom]] in [[Toad Town]] from the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The [[Silver Credit]] must be obtained first from [[Koopa Koot]] in [[Koopa Village]] to unlock this minigame. In it, the player will have to hit a set number of [[Brick Block]]s that appear. There are three options to choose from: 5-Block Option, 7-Block Option, and the 9-Block Option. Depending on the Option the player chooses, they will have to hit that number out of the eleven blocks, and will get [[coin]]s if they succeed. Certain panels appear when a block is hit. There are 1-Coin Panels, 5-Coin Panels, 5-Times Panels, and Bowser Panels. The 1-Coin Panels will give the player one coin to the total number of coins the player has accumulated in the minigame. The 5-Coin Panels will give the player five coins to their total coin count. The 5-Times Panel will multiply the total count by five and the Bowser Panels will give the player a [[Game Over]], and will reset the count to zero, making the player lose all the coins they had earned. It is not known how many of a certain panel is in each block. The player can only hope that he or she does not uncover the Bowser Panels. The minigame costs 10 coins to play. Also, if the player successfully manages to clear the 9-Block Option, their total coins will be doubled.

==Mathematical expectation==
The player pays 10 coins and chooses from the 5-Block Option, 7-Block Option, and the 9-Block Option, which determines how many of the 11 blocks they must hit. The blocks contain coins and multipliers which add up to a total prize given after the chosen number of blocks are hit, but also contain Bowsers which will immediately end the game and forfeit all accumulated prizes. The blocks are randomly shuffled each game, so the player must guess correctly to avoid the Bowsers and keep the coins they find. Because of the high risk of the 9-Block Option, the player is given twice the number of coins if they succeed.
The mathematical expectation of the coin earned is:
* 11 coins for 5-Block Option
* 11 coins for 7-Block Option
* 6 coins for 9-Block Option  


While the order is random, the amounts of panels are the same for every game: four 1-coin Panels, three 5-coin Panels, two 5-Times Panels, and two Bowser Panels. The highest total for any of the three games can be achieved by finding the two multipliers last (since they only apply to the current total), and also finding all three 5-coins.

Jump Attack is a minigame that can be accessed from the Playroom in Toad Town from the game Paper Mario. The Silver Credit must be obtained first from Koopa Koot in Koopa Village to unlock this minigame.

The player pays 10 coins and chooses from the 5-Block Option, 7-Block Option, and the 9-Block Option, which determines how many of the 11 blocks they must hit. The blocks contain coins and multipliers which add up to a total prize given after the chosen number of blocks are hit, but also contain Bowsers which will immediately end the game and forfeit all accumulated prizes. The blocks are randomly shuffled each game, so the player must guess correctly to avoid the Bowsers and keep the coins they find. Because of the high risk of the 9-Block Option, the player is given twice the number of coins if they succeed.

While the order is random, the amounts of panels are the same for every game: four 1-coin Panels, three 5-coin Panels, two 5-Times Panels, and two Bowser Panels. The highest total for any of the three games can be achieved by finding the two multipliers last (since they only apply to the current total), and also finding all three 5-coins.

Game Possible rewards Expected rewards Odds of winning
5-Block Option 3 - 375 coins 11.93 coins 1 in 3.67 (3 in 11)
7-Block Option 9 - 425 coins 11.05 coins 1 in 9.167 (6 in 55)
9-Block Option 38 - 950 coins 7.14 coins 1 in 55
