Swinging with Sharks

Template:Minigame-infobox Swinging with Sharks is an item minigame found in Mario Party 3. Its name is a pun on the phrase "swimming with sharks".

Gameplay

The player on the swing must land on a barrel to get the item they desire, while Baby Bowser rides around on a shark. Timing is important when the player is going to jump onto a barrel; if the player misses, he/she gets nothing. If the player runs out of time, he/she automatically jumps off and into the water.

Controls

In-game text

• Game Rules – "Jump from the swing and land on a barrel to get an item. Timing is important."

Trivia

• It is actually possible that when the player swings offscreen, they are no longer on the swing when it comes back. When this occurs, the minigames ends.
