Attention Grabber
Template:Minigame-infobox Attention Grabber is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 8. Its name refers to something or someone that effectively draws attention to itself or oneself.
Introduction
The camera is zoomed out on an island, and then it zooms in through the forest, onto the beach, where the first player is standing. Then the screen divides up, and the game begins.
Gameplay
There is a ship in the distance, and the players are marooned on an island. The objective is to get the attention of the ship and make it come to shore faster than the other player. The player can wave their hands simply by waving the Wii Remote. The first player to get the ship to shore wins.
Ending
The winner celebrates and swims towards the ship to get on board. If neither player gets their boat closer to them, they both will do their losing animations.
Controls
- Wii Remote: Wave for help
- Buttons: None
In-game text
- Rules – "Get the rescue ship to the shore first by waving as wildly as you can!"
- Hint – "Fast, small hand movements work better than larger, broader ones."
