Snow Whirled
Template:Minigame-infobox Snow Whirled is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 6, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars. The title is a pun on "Snow World" and "whirled."
In Mario Party 6, the only changes between day and night are aesthetic. The lights on the ramp and ski lift are activated at night, and an aurora appears in the sky at night, while clouds appear during the day.
Introduction
The camera flies from the bottom of the slope to the top of the ramp, where the players, on snowboards, are standing.
Gameplay
The minigame is based on the real-world sport of snowboarding. The object of the game is to get the most points by rotating 360° in midair. Each player starts by going down a slope. They must then perform as many 90° spins as possible while in midair by pressing , , , and in that order. The score is capped at 9720° (27 entire revolutions) in Mario Party 6 and 9990° in Superstars; further spins will not affect the score.
In Mario Party 6, this minigame appears as the fourth minigame in Decathlon Park. Here, the player's objective is to do as many spins as possible to earn as many points as possible, up to 1,000. The default record for this minigame in Decathlon Park is 1080°.
Ending
In Mario Party 6 and Superstars, the players stand on the ground in front of their snowboards. The camera then zooms in on the winner(s) as they perform their victory animation.
