Swervin' Skies

Swervin' Skies is a 1-vs.-3 minigame that is found in Mario Party 8.

Introduction

The team of three is shown flying airplanes with a sphere target on each wing. The solo player flies up behind the trio in a plane with a gun on each wing and shoots six bullets that fly past the middle team player.

Gameplay

The solo player's goal is to eliminate the team players, using or to shoot; they have 30 seconds to hit the two targets on each player's plane as they fly around to avoid being downed. The solo player wins if they shoot down all three planes, while the team players win if at least one of them can survive for 30 seconds.

Ending

If the solo player wins, the camera pans to face them as they wave. If the team players win, they wave as their planes fly onscreen.
