Beetle Mania
Beetle Mania is a secret mini-game found in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars; it can be purchased at the Mushroom Kingdom inn for a total of five-hundred coins from a blue Toad. After speaking to him enough times, he will ask if Mario would like to buy it. Saying "yes" will add "game" to the 'X' menu. The gameplay is simple: By pressing the buttons A, B or Y, a Beetle shoots stars at red Koopa shells that fall over the insect. Hitting one will cause red stars to pop out. These can both hurt the beetle or activate other shells. The first time Mario plays the game, a Toad will run onto the screen asking the player not to use a Turbo Controller to play the game. The Beetle begins with a total of 3 lives. Players are awarded points for each shell hit, and more points for combos from the stars. After about 50,000 points, a flashing will fall from the top of the screen which awards the Beetle an extra life.
The background of the game changes depending on which character is in the middle slot of Mario's Party. <br=clear all>
