Peek-a-Boo (minigame)
- Not to be confused with Peak-a-boo-boo.
Template:Minigame-infobox Peek-a-Boo is a 1-vs-3 minigame that is found during the events of Mario Party DS. The name comes from a game parents play with their babies.
Introduction
In this minigame, the wanted sign on the top screen shows which type of Boo to capture depending on what the Boo is wearing or its appearance. At the touch screen, a Boo that looks like on the wanted box pops out from under the table. The Boo is noticed and hides back shortly after that. The minigame then begins."What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. You didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo."
Gameplay
The solo player has a larger screen than the other three players to scan for the Boos, while the other three players acquire a smaller screen that browses slower so they have to work together.
The solo player and the other three players' objective is to catch the Boos until there are no Boos in the area. There is an odd number of Boos that the players have to capture lurking in the area. The minigame takes place in some type of mansion and into a room.
There is one particular obstacle, there are objects in that very room that Boos can go in and hide from players' eyesights for a moment. Another challenge the players will face is that they have to find one of the Boos that has the same appearance as the wanted box is shown. If a player taps the wrong Boo, the Boo comes up into the screen closely blocking off with its face for a quick moment and then the Boo moves fast for a moment as well.
After the last Boo is captured, the players count the Boos that they captured. Whoever gathers the most Boos in the game wins.
