Glacial Meltdown.
Glacial Meltdown is a battle mini-game in Mario Party 8.
Beginning
The minigame opens with the 4 players on an iceberg. They get scared when they see a Buzzy Beetle, however, one of the players knockes it back in the ocean.
Gameplay
All of the players are on a large chunk of ice, attempting to knock all the other players off. There is also a Lakitu floating around who will drop Buzzy Beetles; though these Buzzy Beetles hurt players, they can prove themselves helpful in that jumping on them results in them retreating into their shell, which nearby players can kick into opponents. Whoever is the last one on the ice wins.
Ending
The last player standing does a victory pose while all 3 other players are on separate icebergs farther away.
Controls
- Move
- Jump
- Punch- in mid-air - Kick
Trivia
- Although Lakitus throw Spinies in most games, one (as aforementioned) strangely tosses Buzzy Beetles in this mini-game, a feat performed nowhere else. Though this was likely done by the developers simply to create a stompable enemy for the mini-game.
