Aim of the Game

Aim of the Game is a Battle and a Duel minigame that is found in the Wii game Mario Party 8.

Introduction

A top hat is on the screen and cards start flying out of the top. Shortly thereafter, the game begins.

Gameplay

Each player must shoot five cards from a falling deck and try to get the highest score. The cards flip repetitively, and the number on the card (and therefore the point value) is only visible for a short while. The numbers are 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 2x (which doubles the player's current score), and 0x (which reduces the player's total score to zero). The "x" cards are multipliers. A timer is not visible while the game is going, but if the last of the cards fall off-screen, the game ends. Once the minigame announcer says "Finish!", the value in the cards gets added up or multiplied. Whoever has the most points wins the minigame. The most points a player can get is 800.

Ending

Winning players will perform their respective victory poses, while any losing players will sulk beside them.
