Type 4-Player minigame
Duel minigame

Flip the Chimp is a 4-Player and Duel minigame that is found in Mario Party 8.

Introduction

The camera moves around to show a Ferris wheel and a flying hot air balloon in the background. The Super Mario Bros. Ground Theme also plays but in carnival style. The camera then moves down to show an Ukiki hanging on a tree. A coconut falls on the Ukiki's head, making him scream and move down the tree. After that, the screen splits into four (two in the Duel version) sections, each containing an Ukiki hanging on a tree as well as a player standing beside it, and the minigame starts.

Gameplay

The players must hold the Wii Remote in a vertical position to play this minigame. The players control the Ukikis that are climbing the trees to the finish line. During the minigame, coconuts fall down at either the left or the right side of the tree the Ukiki is climbing. The players can avoid them by switching sides the Ukikis climb on the trees. If a coconut hits the Ukiki's head, he moves forcefully down the tree, wasting some time to reach the finish line. The player who has their Ukiki reach the finish line first wins. It is possible to have multiple players win this minigame, and it is possible to tie in the Duel variant.
