Overview

Swinging with Sharks in Mario Party Superstars
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

The player is on a swing, which they jump off of, trying to land on a barrel with the desired item. Baby Bowser is on a Sushi throughout, but he is replaced in Mario Party Superstars by Bowser Jr. on a barrel. If the player misses or jumps into the water automatically after time runs out, they get no item and also play a higher-pitched losing than usual in Mario Party 3 only.

The title is a play on the phrase "swimming with sharks." It is untitled in Mario Party Superstars.
