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.
