Hammer Chime is a boss minigame against Hammer Bro in Mario Party DS. Its name is a pun on "Hammer time."
Cutscene after winning the minigame in Story Mode
Toadette will give the heroes a second Sky Crystal, and they proceed to DK's Stone Statue.
Gameplay
The minigame's objective is to follow the pattern. The player has five lives, while Hammer Bro has three. Hammer Bro hits four colored drums in a random order with his hammers, then releases a musical note to attack the player. Using the stylus, the player has to play the same drums in order before the musical note hits them. If the player does not hit the same combination in time, they lose a life. If the player manages to play the combination in time, a charged musical note is released and sent to Hammer Bro, hurting him and causing him to lose a life. After Hammer Bro loses all three lives, he is defeated, and the player clears Toadette's Music Room and gains the second Sky Crystal.
Ending
Hammer Bro vibrates slightly from the shock of the last strike and collapses to the ground.
