Treacherous Tightrope

Template:Articleabout Template:Minigame-infobox Treacherous Tightrope is a 4-Player minigame that is found in Mario Party 8.

Introduction

The minigame sets in the deep canyon as the camera is inside the canyon. The camera moves closer to the players preparing to play the mini-game. The wind blows the tightrope and the players as they are losing the balance but regained it. When the camera is set on the players that appear on the screen, the minigame starts.

Gameplay

The players attempt to use the Wii Remote to balance the player while the players are walking across the tightrope to the end of the tightrope.

When the character is getting unbalanced, the player has to balance the Wiimote straight as possible before the character falls down into the canyon and loses the balancing poles. Additionally, the wind in the minigame can attempt to blow all the players on the tightrope down to the canyon if possible; this addition makes the minigame a little more challenging as the player attempt to survive from falling.

The first player reaches to the end of the tightrope will strike a winning pose as the remaining players fall down into the canyon.

The background shows just a canyon, the wind, and some rocks that hook the tightropes to hold for players to slowly walk on to balance.

Ending

The winner will jump off the tightrope and onto the rock at the finish while the losers automatically lose their balance and fall off. The winner then does his or her victory dance.
