Hot Shots is a 4-Player and Duel minigame in Mario Party DS. Its name is a term used for self-assured and successful people.

Gameplay

Duel mode for Hot Shots in Mario Party DS
Duel minigame version

The player must use the Touch Screen to aim the match at the faces of Bowser or Kamek. Shooting Bowser gives the player 100 points, and shooting Kamek gives 20 points. Toadette targets appear in this minigame, and hitting her causes the shooter to lose 30 points. The player also receives bonus points for consecutive shots without missing, shooting Toadette, or shooting an empty target. At the end, the player with the most points wins the minigame. If everyone has the same number of points, the minigame ends in a draw.

Ending

Victorious characters perform their winning poses on a giant golden arrow coin, while the players that lose do losing poses on the green grass. If no one gets any points or if everyone has the same score in both variants, then a tie occurs.

As with other minigames with a record system, if everyone gets the same score while breaking the current record, it counts as a new record even though no one won, as the screen will say "Tie" after the "New Record" fanfare.
