Tumble Temple is a Free-for-All minigame featured in Mario Party 9.
Introduction
Lava spouts from behind the players as they run onscreen.
Gameplay
Players must dodge big and small 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 eliminated. Players cannot fall into the lava. As time goes on, the frequency of all Spiked Balls increases. After 30 seconds, the two spiky pillars begin to spin, increasing the speed of any Spiked Balls that touch them. The last player remaining, or any players remaining after 60 seconds, wins.
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 appears in Perspective Mode as the first minigame played.
