A Reverse Minigame is a Bowser Event introduced in Mario Party 9. It is one of many events that may appear on a roulette when a player lands on a Bowser Space. If the wheel stops on a Reverse Minigame, Bowser forces all players to participate in a Free-for-All minigame, where the goal - unlike regular minigames - is to lose. Bowser awards ten Mini Stars to the player who finishes in last place (twenty Bananas for DK's Jungle Ruins).

Relatively few Free-For-All minigames are also Reverse Minigames. The four that do have a Reverse version seem to have a Bowser-like aesthetic, involving backgrounds and obstacles commonly associated with the Koopa King in other games.

The list of Reverse Minigames includes:

• Thwomper Room - Be the first player to get hit by a Thwomp.
• Billistics - Be the first player to get hit by an incoming Bullet Bill.
• Chain Event - Be the player who takes the longest sliding down the chain. Players can slow their descent by hitting Spiked Balls on the way down.
• Tumble Temple - Be the first player to get smashed by a Spike Ball.

Trivia

• Reverse Minigames are considered to be the easiest kind of minigames to play, as "losing" is only way to win them.
  • This isn't exactly true, however, as CPUs would be looking forward to "losing" as well.
• Reverse Minigames are essentially the opposite of the Fire Bro's Battle Minigames, as they reward the last-place player with ten Mini-Stars as opposed to relieving the last-place player of ten Mini Stars.
• Fun Fact: Since the objective of the Reverse Minigames is to lose instead of win, so the winner may be noobs instead of experts! Maybe this type of minigames is to torture experts. LOL!
