Gameplay

File:MP9 Minigame Spikedball.png File:Tumble Temple Perspective Mode.png

Tumble Temple, in normal mode, and Perspective Mode.

Players dodge Spiked Balls as they fall through a field of pegs, which switch on and off as time passes. Any player hit by a spiked ball is immediately eliminated. Players are also eliminated for falling into the lava. The spiked balls come in a big size and a small size. As time goes on, the frequency of all spiked balls increases. The last player remaining, or any players remaining after 60 seconds, win.

This minigame also exists as a Reverse Minigame. The objective is for the players to try to be first to hit a Spiked Ball.

Additionally, this minigame also appears in Perspective Mode.

Trivia

• The noise that the spike ball makes when it hits a player sounds like a bowling ball hitting pins.
• The game's concept is similar to that of Soccer Survival from Mario Party DS.
