Star Carnival Bowling is a one-to-four-player minigame found only in the Extras Zone in Mario Party 8. Players can use either characters from the Super Mario franchise or Miis from their Wii console. This minigame resembles the Bowling game from Wii Sports, except players bowl with the A Button button instead of the B Button button while swinging the Wii Remote.

Overview[edit]

In the introduction, a closeup of the ten pins that are set up at the end of the player's bowling lane is shown. The camera then zooms out until it is behind the player, who is holding a bowling ball, ready to bowl. The minigame then begins.

Players must play either five or ten frames of bowling (they are able to choose the number of frames they want to bowl prior to starting the minigame) by swinging Wii Remote while holding A Button to throw the ball down the lane into the ten pins at the end. Just like in the actual game, players score points based on how many pins they are able to successfully knock down (up to 300 points). If they want to check out the current score, players can press B Button at any time before they continue on with their turns.

In the ending, the camera zooms in on the scoring screen above the lane (which scrolls left to right to show the full scores if the player chose to play ten frames), showing the player's/players' final scores for the game. The camera then zooms out to show the player(s), who do(es) their winning animation(s). In the multiplayer version, the losing players do their losing animations (this also happens if the player gets zero points in the single-player version).

Controls[edit]

  • Wii Remote
    • A Button – Hold to swing
  • Buttons
    • +Control Pad – Move left/right
    • A Button – Hold to swing
