Stone-Eye Bowling is a Duel minigame in Super Mario Party Jamboree.
Introduction
A set of ten Stone-Eyes emerges from the ground while red Koopa Paratroopas cheer, before revealing the player characters at the top of a large platform in the desert.
Gameplay
The minigame acts as a modified, shortened form of ten-pin bowling. Stone-Eyes act as bowling pins, and as in the real-world sport, they are placed in a tetrad of rows, with four Stone-Eyes in the back, then three, then two, then one. The set of Stone-Eyes is placed at the end of a long, steep path, with the player characters at the top, holding a boulder that acts as a bowling ball. Players can aim the boulder by moving it left or right—after ten seconds have passed, the boulder is automatically pushed forward, knocking down any Stone-Eyes it comes into contact with. Throughout the path are hills of sand, which can affect the boulder's trajectory. As with real bowling pins, Stone-Eyes that are knocked by the boulder can knock down addition Stone-Eyes, making hitting all ten easier. After the boulder and any contacted Stone-Eyes finish moving, the red Koopa Paratroopas evaluate the score and celebrate. The player who knocks down the higher number of Stone-Eyes wins. The players tie if they each got the same number of Stone-Eyes. Like with bowling, knocking down all ten Stone-Eyes is labeled a "Strike," though only one throw is offered, effectively making a strike no different from a real-world spare.
Controls
