The Rec Room, the place to take
a break from the main adventure
to play some mini games. Each of
the 4 characters has their own
set of mini games. Some are
defaults, others are unloackable
by catching the rabbits found
throughout the game. |

Yoshi's Mini Games |
|
Wanted! |
|
Ever heard the quote "My Dear
Watson"? Time to put on your
sleuthing hat, because in this
mini game, the object is to find
the person who's wanted! Of
course, they get harder as they
go on, and there's always other
suspects out there... |
| |
|
Loves Me...? |
|
Honestly, this is the most
pointless and stupid mini game
there is. I mean, really, who
wouldn't love me? But seriously,
all there is to do is pick the
petals of a flower. Occasionally
it'll turn up as loves me, other
times not. |
| |
|
Hide and Boo Seek |
|
Luigi's supposed to be the one
hunting ghosts (a la Luigi's
Mansion), but it seems as though
Yoshi will be taking over for a
little while. In this game, the
screen will go black and the
stylus is used to scratch it off
- just make sure to reveal the
ghost! |
| |
|
Puzzle Panel |
|
Desert...hot and warm. This game
is truly a puzzle. There's only
1 turn available to match up the
puzzle to the puzzle on the
other screen. Hitting a tile
will turn all the adjacent tiles
on their other sides, so think
before you touch the wrong one! |
| |
|
Boom Box |
|
Not quite the musical kind of
boom box. This game is nothing
more than a standard Memory
Match game. This one has 6
different treasure chests
(although ore come on higher
levels), and that makes a total
of 3 matches. Strategic guessing
will help on this mini game! |
| |
|
Tox Box Shuffle |
|
"Guess which one, 10 dollars.
Costs 5 to play. 1 guess, which
is the Queen of Spades?" - ever
seen a movie where a guy has 3
cards and shuffles them quick
and has someone else guess which
card is the card he wants? Well,
that's like this - the boxes
move Yoshi around (getting
faster) and the object is to
guess which he is under |
| |
|
Which Wiggler? |
|
This game is very simple to
understand. The objective is
simple: Touch the Wiggler on the
bottom screen with the stylus
that matched the Wiggler on the
top screen. There's a time
limit, so look closely to make
sure you got the right one! |
| |
|
Mix-A-Mug |
|
Think back to Super Mario Bros.
3 for a second. You're low on
lives, but you come across one
of those nifty blue spaces with
a Spade in it. Remember the
matching game with sliding cards
to get lives? Welcome back |
| |
|
Puzzle Panic |
|
This game is the same as Puzzle
Panel...except much harder. The
concept is the same: match the
puzzles on the bottom and touch
screen. Problem is, these are
much bigger, so more careful
thinking must be used! |
| |
|
Mario's Minigames |
|
Mario's Slides |
|
Mario's first mini game is very
basic. Simply navigate Mario's
head to the Power Star by
connecting lines with the stylus
for his head to travel on,
that's all. Oh, yeah, make a
wrong move, and the lovely
Piranha Plants will have a nice
meal |
| |
|
Bounce and Pounce |
|
This is a very, very fun mini
game to play. Mario will be
flying...sort of. Actually,
he'll be freefalling down. The
goal is to have him hit the Fly
Guys to gain points. Only
problem is that if he's going to
miss, he'll need to be touched
with the Stylus to rocket back
up. Did I forget to mention that
there are 3 Mario's at once
instead of one? |
| |
|
Sort or 'Splode |
|
'Splode. Ironically, my friends
and I don't say "Explode" but
instead say 'Splode. Anyways,
there's a lot of Bomb-Ombs in
this game. The objective is to
move the black Bomb-Ombs into
the black area and the red Bomb-Ombs
into the red area |
| |
|
Trampoline Time |
|
Another really fun mini game,
Trampoline Time takes Mario to
the building area. It's dark
outside, and Mario wants to go
into the light on the sides of
the metal railings. Draw
trampolines with the stylus to
keep him up - if all of them
disappear, he'll be falling off
the screen! |
| |
|
Shuffle Shell |
|
Pretty cold up in Canada, eh?
Shout out to all the Canadians
out there, because curling makes
its appearance in a video game.
Yes, curling. I don't actually
know if Canadians play this
sport a whole lot (at least
compared to my favorite sport
Hockey and Lacrosse), but I do
know it's more popular there
than here. Anyways, use panels
to hit a Koopa shell into the
target zone. The more in the
middle, the more points it's
worth! |
| |
|
Bounce and Trounce |
|
Hooray for more fun games!
Bounce and Trounce is like
Bounce and Pounce (heck, their
names are nearly the same!) in
the fact that Mario will be
bouncing off Fly Guys. 'Cept,
this time, they're smaller, the
move around, and they appear in
different spots! |
| |
|
Connect The Characters |
|
I've always wanted to own a
Yoshi bobblehead, and I get my
chance here. This game is like
Mario's Slides, except there's
no Piranha Plants or Stars.
Instead, there's 2 Mario Heads
and 2 Yoshi Heads that need to
be matched up |
| |
|
Shell Smash |
|
Bowling, anyone? You don't need
to be on the PBA Tour to do well
in this game, 'cause it's not
really bowling. Instead, there's
a bunch of red shells in a pin
formation. Bust 'em up by
smashing a green shell into
them. There's 5 shots, and
hitting green shells on green
shells is worth more! |
| |
|
Trampoline Terror |
|
Let's step it up from the other
Trampoline. This time, it's a
lot harder. Instead of getting
into a certain area, Mario must
get into rings from both touch
screens. More rings = more
points when used in a combo! |
| |
|
Luigi's Mini Games |
|
Memory Match |
|
Simply a classic, though it's
not all the fun. Luigi will
throw out some cards, and
obviously, they need to be
matched. 2 is a pair, and to
start, 4 pairs clears the board.
Be careful not to lose all the
coins you bet! |
| |
|
Pair-A-Gone |
|
This game is a little bit more
unique...instead of matching the
cards, you have to pair the
cards to eliminate them. Pairs
that can be eliminated can be
lined up vertically,
horizontally, or diagonally.
This game can get difficult at
the end since you don't want to
leave an unpaired card |
| |
|
Picture Poker |
|
This is in my opinion, the best
mini game. Simply poker, nothing
more. 5-Card Draw styled.
Certain combinations results in
the different amounts of coins
you can win per bet. Regular
poker rules apply here, except
for 5 of the same card (There's
no such thing in real poker!) |
| |
|
Mushroom Roulette |
|
Hooray for more "gambling." This
game is your standard roulette
table. You can divvy up your
coins on one space, multiple
spaces, or the lines between the
spaces. To win, the ball must
land in the area of your bet |
| |
|
Mario Slot |
|
What's cool about this game is
all the classic references just
found on the machine. This game
is nothing more than standard
slots with a Mario theme. This
game can be more difficult to
win because more luck is
involved |
| |
|
Lucky Stars |
|
This game is luck, completely.
There is no skill in this game
whatsoever. Luigi will deal 2
cards, and the goal is to pick
the highest one. A hot streak
comes in handy here, and this
game can easily go good or bad
for players |
| |
|
Pair-A-Gone and On |
|
This game is the exact same as
Pair-A-Gone. Like last time,
cards can be paired in three
different ways: vertically,
horizontally, and diagonally.
The only difference between this
game and the other one is that
it goes on forever |
| |
|
Memory Master |
|
More classics, though this game
raises the stakes from the good
'ol Memory Match. This time,
Luigi will deal out more cards
and a few will flip over to give
a head start. Clear 'em all to
win, but make sure you know
where they are first! |
| |
|
Super Mario Slot |
|
Unfortunately, there's hardly
any change from the first slot
game that Luigi has. Everything
is the same, including the retro
parts. The only difference is
that a special star slot is
there, which serves as a wild
card. 3 of these stars give 20
times the bet |
| |
|
Wario's Mini Games |
|
Bomb-Omb Squad |
|
For some odd reason, Wario
decided to plant some flowers on
the ground. Even stranger,
there's parachuting Bomb-Ombs
trying to destroy them. Use the
slingshot to knock them down,
and hitting the Lakitu will
cause all the Bomb-Ombs to
explode |
| |
|
Snowball Slalom |
|
Well, it's not quite like the
star in the game where you need
to roll the snowball, but the
point is virtually the same.
Using the touch screen, roll the
snowball upwards to make it
bigger and faster as the goal
line apporaches |
| |
|
Bingo Ball |
|
This game combines Bingo and
Pinball. Shoot a ball up, and
let it come down. It'll hit a
number within the range of 1-9.
That number will light up on a
board, and 3 in a row is what
the goal is. Unfortunately, a
lot of this game is luck, though
there is some skill involved
with how hard the ball is
initially hit |
| |
|
Coincentration |
|
The first thing you want to do
is look at the screen, because a
Coin Purse will soon drop coins
down. The coins will fall into
blocks, but since they are
covered, a good memory is
needed. Once all of them has
fallen into blocks, simply touch
the ones with coins! |
| |
|
Psyche Out! |
|
Relaxing music, huh? This game
is kind of like Luigi's Lucky
Stars, except you're trying to
make a match with a card flipped
outside down. However, this
time, if you look carefully, you
can see the shape within the
card! They'll get harder, but
they can be matched! |
| |
|
Slots Shot |
|
This game is like Bingo Ball,
but it is different. Instead of
a bingo grid, there is a slot
machine. Using the balls given,
one needs to go into a Piranha
Plant to open up the bars
covering the pipe. The pipe
leads to a switch to activate
the slots - 3 in a row's a
winner! |
| |
|
Lakitu Launch |
|
Well, at least Wario isn't
planting anymore flowers. This
game is like Bomb-Omb Squad,
except the slingshot isn't used
to knock things out of the air.
Instead, there's Spinys on the
slingshot, and they need to be
shot into the hollowed out Koopa
Shell that the Lakitus are
holding |
| |
|
Intense Coincentration |
|
Unfortunately, there is only 1
change in this game from the
regular Coincentration. Instead
of the usual amount of coins
that the Coin Purse lets out,
it'll let out much less, making
it harder to guess which blocks
hold coins |
| |
|
Giant Snowball Slalom |
|
More of the same games...why not
new ones? Anyways, this game is
the same the other Snowball
Slalom, except it's much larger.
Along the way, there's also more
rocks as well as Penguins, so be
careful while pushing that
snowball! |
