==Gameplay==
In this game, apple-shaped targets will slide in front of the players, who need to shoot target zones attached to them that are worth 10, 30, or 100 [[point]]s. Each target stays on the screen for one whole second, so the players need to shoot the targets quickly. The targets will not have the point zones in the same locations. Whoever has the most points after all the targets wins.
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 [[point]]s. 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.

The losers are carried away by Ukikis behind the winner(s) (similar to the ending of [[Apes of Wrath]] from ''[[Mario Party 7]]''), who do(es) their victory pose(s).

Introduction[edit]

The introduction to Snipe for the Picking

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.
