Tidal Fools
Template:Minigame-infobox Tidal Fools is a 4-player and a Duel mini-game that is found during the events of Mario Party DS. In addition, the mini-game is actually a Bonus mini-game where the players attempt to gather Coins. The name is a pun on "Tidal Pools".
Introduction
The mini-game sets in a beach with some sea shells on the sand. The four players are standing near the watery waves. Then suddenly the waves come in towards the players as they avoid it by running back. The waves withdraw back into the oceans as the players go back to their positions. Shortly after that, the mini-game begins.
Gameplay
To gather Coins, the players must first wait for the waves from the ocean to come by. When the waves come by, the players have to avoid the waves. Any player who is caught in the arriving waves is stunned for a few seconds as the player is dragged into the ocean. When the waves finally go back into the ocean, some Coins are left for the players to collect. Occasionally, a Red Coin would be there on the sand after the waves. The process repeats a few times until the time limit runs out.
