Template:Articleabout Template:Minigame-infobox Balancing Act is a Duel Minigame in Mario Party 8. Balancing acts in real life refer to someone holding a stack of things while riding a unicycle.
Introduction
The camera pans around the inside of a circus tent before coming to rest on the entrance to the tent. The first player rolls through the entrance, balancing on top of a ball, as a spotlight follows them. The player rolls the ball up a small ramp and onto a circular platform, the screen splits to show the first player on top and the second player on bottom (in between the two screens is shown a map of the course the players must follow, as well as the players' locations), and the game begins.
Gameplay
The two players are now in the middle of a balancing act on a ball. Balancing is easy; the problem is avoiding the Thwomps. While the Thwomps do not do anything permanent, they slow down the player, giving the other a chance. Whoever makes it to the end of the path first will win.
Ending
The winning player stands in the middle of the circus tent with their ball behind them on the ground and does their victory pose as confetti falls down on them from above. The losing player is not seen.
