Hot Shots

Template:Minigame-infobox Hot Shots is a 4-player (and a duel) minigame that is found during the events of the game Mario Party DS. Its name is a term used for self-assured and successful people.

Gameplay

The player must use the touch screen to aim the match at the faces of Bowser or Kamek.

Shooting Bowser gives the player 100 points and shooting Kamek gives 20 points. Toadette appears in this minigame and shooting her can cause the shooter to lose 30 points. The player also receives bonus points for consecutive shots without missing, shooting Toadette or shooting an empty target. At the end, the player with the most points wins the minigame.

Ending

Victorious characters perform their winning poses on a giant, golden arrow coin, while the players that lose will sulk on the green grass. If no one gets any points or if both players achieve the same score in the Duel variant, then a tie occurs.

If both players get the same score in the Duel variant that breaks the current record, it counts as a new record even though no one won, as it will say "Tie" after the "New Record" fanfare. This also applies to the other Duel minigames with a record system.
