Mini-games (alternatively spelled as "minigames") are events in the Marioverse. Mini-games are usually optional short games which may reward coins or items. However, some must be completed for high scores or access to a new area.
Super Paper Mario mini-games
Mario Party series mini-games
The Mario Party series has many types of mini-games. Most award ten coins while some award items. In Mario Party, a few mini-games can cause a player to lose coins, although this system was changed in later Mario Party games.
1-player mini-games
1-player mini-games are mini-games played alone. These mini-games are usually accessed by landing on the Star Space. If the player fails, he loses 5 coins but if he or she wins, the player wins 10 coins.
4-player mini-game
4-player mini-games are mini-games that pit all four players against each other. These mini-games are made in a sense of equality between all players. This system has remained unchanged since the first Mario Party.
1 vs. 3 mini-games
1 vs. 3 mini-games are games that challenges a single player against the other three.
2 vs. 2 mini-games
2 vs. 2 mini-games are mini-games that have the player paired-up with another, random player. Players often need to work together and cooperate in to beat these games.
Item mini-games
Item mini-games are games that a player can play to get an item. If the player gets Koopa Kid, the player gets nothing. They only appeared in Mario Party 2 through Mario Party 4.
Bowser mini-game
Bowser mini-games are Bowser's own mini-games, Bowser mini-games are often extremely unfair to the players as Bowser makes all the rules. Bowser mini-games are also similar to 4-player mini-games, except that the winner gets nothing and the losers lose coins, Stars (if they had one), or items.
Donkey Kong mini-game
Introduced in Mario Party 5, Donkey Kong mini-games are mini-games run by Donkey Kong which are often short. They usually have players focus on collecting as many bananas as possible. After the Donkey Kong mini-game is finished, players can trade their bananas to Donkey Kong for coins. They can also gain more depending on the DK Roulette.
Duel mini-game
Duel Mini-Games are mini-games that involve two players to play a mini-game against each other. Most usually have high stakes, some are common in various Duel modes. The challenging player can choose to either play for coins or Stars. This is provided that the challenging player himself has enough to wager. From Mario Party 7 onwards, the winner's prize was decided by a roulette wheel.
Mini mini-game
Mini mini-games are a type of mini-game in Mario Party 4. It can only be played by a partier that has used a Mini Mushroom on itself. There are two types of Mini mini-games, those that involve winning items, like Item-Go-Round and Item Poker, and those that involve winning coins, like the Coin Slots and Tropical Fishing.
Battle mini-games
Battle Mini-Games are mini-games that allows all four player to face each other. Unlike other mini-games, the rank is important so for example, a player can still win coins for being in second place. Like the 4-player mini-games, most mini-games are evenly matched between the four players. The challenges can go up to 10 to 50 coins per player. The scoring for Battle games up to Mario Party 7:
- 1st: 70% of the total no. coins
- 2nd: 30% of the total no. coins
- 3rd & 4th: Get bonus coins if there are leftovers
In Mario Party 8, the scoring for 1st and 2nd was still the same, but 3rd place got all the bonus coins.
