Snipe for the Picking is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 8.
Introduction[edit]
The first player enters a small room and shoots an apple-shaped target. A Ukiki cranks several gears in the background and does not interact with the player. Lastly, the screen divides into four, and the minigame starts.
Gameplay[edit]
Players must quickly shoot fifteen apple-shaped targets, each moving in front of them for only one second before going back offscreen. Every target is divided into three zones, with 10, 30, or 100 points. The zones are arranged differently between targets, though the 100 is always the smallest and thus the hardest to shoot. The player who ends with the most points wins.
Ending[edit]
Ukikis have a role during the ending only, carrying away the losers as the winners do their victory poses.
Test for the Best[edit]
Snipe for the Picking is also a single-player minigame in Test for the Best. It is the only minigame in the mode that is neither a 4-Player minigame nor a Duel minigame.
The player must gather as many points as they can within 30 seconds by shooting targets. The scores required to earn a certain point total are as follows:

| A | 900 | 1,300 points | Surefire Sniper |
