Template:Minigame-infobox Snipe For The Picking is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 8 and a single-player minigame in Test for the Best. Its name is a pun on the expression "ripe for the picking".

Introduction

The first player enters a shooting range, where Ukikis are turning gears. The player then has a shot which does not count, then the game starts.

Gameplay

In this game the players are in a small room filled with gears that are being cranked by an Ukiki, where apple-shaped targets will slide in front of them, and they need to shoot smaller targets attached to them, that give the player 10, 30, or 100 points. Whoever has the most points after all the targets wins.

Ending

The losers are carried off by Ukikis, while the winner does the victory pose.
