Big Blowout
Template:Minigame-infobox Big Blowout is a 4-player/duel minigame in the game Mario Party DS. This minigame involves players blowing on the Nintendo DS mic in order to blow out lit flames.
Gameplay
Each player stands in front of their own row of lit candles. To advance, players must blow on the system's microphone; this will in turn blow out candles.
The more air the player blows, the more flames extinguished at a given time. Maximum numbers of candles that can be blown out at a given time is three. However, players cannot use the mic while they are jumping from candle tip to candle tip - only when they stop. The player to extinguish all their candles and cross the finish line first wins.
Ending
At the end of the game, the winner is seen performing his or her victory dance in front of a bunch of lit candles. The losing players are not seen.
Controls
– Blow out the candles
