'''Manta Rings''' is a 4-player [[mini-game]] from ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. The game is from a rear view perspective. The goal is to swim through as many bubble rings as possible. They appear as the four players swim through the course. Each bubble ring is worth one point. Sometimes, a Manta Ray will swim by and drop three gold rings worth three points each. However, hitting a [[Blooper]] will deduct one point, hitting [[Sushi]] will deduct two points, and hitting the giant eel at the end will deduct three points.

Manta Rings is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 4.

Overview[edit]

The scene opens with a perspective of players jumping off of the boat into the water.

Players try to swim through the most rings, each worth a point, that show up as players swim along the route. Two or three gold rings, each worth three points, are sometimes produced by a Manta that swims by. Hitting a Blooper, a Sushi, or an orange eel takes away one, two, or three points, respectively. Players who end with the most points win, but if every player ends with the same score, it is a draw.

The ending shows the players swimming through a goal at the end, with the winner jumping onto Toad's boat to do their victory pose. The losers' voice clips are still intact, even from being underwater. If there is more than one winner, they wave in the water. If a draw occurs, the boat leaves, and the players are left in the water.
