Swinging with Sharks

Template:Minigame-infobox Swinging with Sharks is an Item minigame found in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Superstars. Its name is a pun on the phrase "swimming with sharks."

Gameplay

The player on the swing must land on a barrel to get the item they desire, while Baby Bowser rides around on a Sushi. Timing is important when the player is going to jump onto a barrel; if the player misses, they get nothing. If the player runs out of time, they automatically jump into the water.

In Mario Party Superstars, Bowser Jr. takes the place of Koopa Kid, and is on a barrel instead of a Sushi.
