==Introduction==
==Overview==
The camera moves around to show a Ferris wheel and a flying hot air balloon in the background. The ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] also plays but in carnival style. The camera then moves down to show an [[Ukiki]] hanging on a tree. A [[coconut]] falls on the Ukiki's head, making him scream and move down the tree. After that, the screen splits into four (two in the Duel version) sections, each containing an Ukiki hanging on a tree as well as a player standing beside it, and the minigame starts.
The minigame opens with a brief sequence of a [[coconut]] falling and hitting a mechanical Ukiki climbing a tree.


==Gameplay==
During gameplay, coconuts fall from either the left or the right side of the tree as the Ukiki climbs automatically. Players can have their Ukikis dodge incoming coconuts by shaking the controller to flip them, though it causes the Ukiki to stomp climbing briefly. If a coconut hits a Ukiki, it slides down, costing that player some time. The player whose Ukiki reaches the finish line first wins.
The players must hold the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] in a vertical position to play this minigame. The players control the Ukikis that are climbing the trees to the finish line. During the minigame, coconuts fall down at either the left or right side of the tree the Ukiki is climbing. The players can avoid them by switching sides the Ukikis climb on the trees. If a coconut hits his head, the Ukiki moves forcefully down the tree, wasting some time to reach the finish line. The player who has their Ukiki reach the finish line first wins. It is possible to have multiple players win this minigame, and it is possible to tie in the Duel variant.


==Ending==
Multiple players can win the minigame, and even a tie can occur in the Duel variant. In both versions, if none of the Ukikis make it to the end within five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.

Flip the Chimp is a 4-Player and Duel minigame in Mario Party 8. It requires holding Wii Remote in a vertical position.

Overview[edit]

The minigame opens with a brief sequence of a coconut falling and hitting a mechanical Ukiki climbing a tree.

During gameplay, coconuts fall from either the left or the right side of the tree as the Ukiki climbs automatically. Players can have their Ukikis dodge incoming coconuts by shaking the controller to flip them, though it causes the Ukiki to stomp climbing briefly. If a coconut hits a Ukiki, it slides down, costing that player some time. The player whose Ukiki reaches the finish line first wins.

Multiple players can win the minigame, and even a tie can occur in the Duel variant. In both versions, if none of the Ukikis make it to the end within five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.

Controls[edit]

  • Wii Remote: Flip monkey
  • Buttons: None

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules – "Get your monkey to climb the highest! Flip him to avoid the falling coconuts!"
  • Hint – "Watch the sky for coconuts! Use quick motions so that you're ready for the next one!"
