Skyjinks is a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party 9. The name is a portmanteau of "sky" and "hijinks."

Introduction[edit]

The introduction to Skyjinks

The players are seen jumping on platforms. Landing on wooden boards, the characters stop, and the minigame begins.

Gameplay[edit]

The players must travel through an auto-scrolling obstacle course in the sky without falling off the course. A player who falls loses one of three hearts, is placed inside a bubble, and is brought back onto the course at a random point. A player is eliminated if they fall with no hearts remaining. As the players proceed along the course, the platforms toward the back fall offscreen.

The first area contains many rotating circular platforms, with the second area containing a set of plus- and T-shaped blocks, some of which rotate as well. The third and final section has bouncy clouds and rotating platforms that lead to the goal platform. The first player to reach it wins.

In Perspective Mode, the camera is in "tracking" mode behind the player, and the screen does not automatically scroll. Additionally, players are immediately eliminated if they fall off the course.

Ending[edit]

Two endings can occur: The last player remaining may fall off and lose their last life but still win, or, if the player manages to reach the end, the players in first, second, and third do victory poses while the player in fourth just stands idly.

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules (Normal)"Make your way across floating platforms toward the goal. If you fall, you'll lose a heart. If you have any hearts remaining, you'll return to the platforms."
  • Rules (Perspective Mode)"Make your way across floating platforms toward the goal. If you fall, you lose."
  • Controls"Hold the Wii Remote sideways. Press +Control Pad to move and Two Button to jump."
