Flagging Rights

Flagging Rights is an Extra Mini-Game featured in Mario Party 8.

Introduction

The scene moves in t the player chosen on a ship, along with a Shy Guy wearing a pirate hat. They are both wielding red and white flags.

Controls

This is the only Mario Party 8 mini-game to make use of the Nunchuck controller. The Wii Remote is held on the right side, and that Nunchuck is held on the left. When the Shy Guy raises the red flag, the player must raise the Wii Remote. If the Shy Guy raises the white flag, the player raises the Nunchuck. If he raises both, the player raises both.

Gameplay

The gameplay is fairly predictable: Raise the flag the Shy Guy commands for as long as you can. If you miss even 1 flag, the game will be ended.

Ending

When you get a flag wrong, a different Shy Guy on the ship with cut the rope on the plank the character is standing on making them fall into the ocean. The Shy Guy will then wave tauntingly.

Interestingly, the gameplay and appearance of this mini-game are very similar to those of Shy Guy Says from Mario Party, but with only 1 player.
