Camera Shy
Template:Minigame-infobox Camera Shy is a 4-player and a duel minigame that appeared during the events of the game Mario Party DS. The name is a play on the term "camera shy", which is used to denote a person who is scared to get his or her picture taken.
Introduction
In the scene, the minigame sets in a field, most likely the crops of corn like in the farmlands. The players are in their corners in the playfield, where there are many paths to go in and out and for players to hide in. The players' cameras flash as the camera shows the character the player is controlling, and goes into first-person. Shortly after that, the minigame starts.
Gameplay
Players play in a field, holding cameras, in order to take a shot of the other opponents. When the player completes the objective for taking shots of every opponent, the player will win the mini-game.
The field is a large maze that appears to be made out of corn. Finding opponents is quite difficult due to the style of the field.
When a player takes a picture, it takes quite a while for the camera to prepare for the next shot. The lens on the touch screens turn green when an opponent is in the perfect spot for a picture. If a player captures their opponent in a perfect shot, the opponent will jump with their camera in the air.
The player can view the winners' pictures at the end.

Trivia
- Camera Shy does not appear to have a time limit, but it actually does. If no one has won in three and a half minutes, a 30-second timer appears. The game is called a draw if no one has won by the time the 30-second timer hits zero. This applies with Vine With Me, a minigame from Mario Party 3, except that the timer starts after two and a half minutes, and Camp Ukiki from Mario Party 7, but the timer starts after four and a half minutes.
