Gun the Runner
Gun the Runner is a 1-Vs.-3 Mini-game in Mario Party 8.

to move and 
to jump. - Trio: Hold the Wii controller vertically. Move the controller around to aim and
or 
to shoot.
Gameplay
In this game, one player needs to jump up platforms to get to the top of a large tower, while the other three attempt to stop him by shooting him/her. When the Runner is hit by one of them, he/she will be unable to move for 3 seconds, however it takes 1 second to reload a ball. Elevator platforms go up or down and may help the runner. If the runner makes it to the top in 30 seconds, they will win the Mini-game. If the runner is unable to make it, the team will win the Mini-game.
Ending
If the solo player wins, they will do a winning pose as the Bullet Blitzer closes up and flies off with the disappointed trio. If the trio wins, they will do a winning pose on the Bullet Blitzer as the solo player slumps in disappointment on the building.
