Unlike previous Super Mario
Bros. games, New Super Mario
Bros. has mini games.
Unfortunately, most of these are
the same as those found in Super
Mario 64 DS, although there are
a few new and good ones. |
| |
|
Action Mini Games |
|
Snowball Slalom |
|
This mini game is the same as
the one found in Super Mario 64
DS. The object of the game is to
get a snowball down the hill
before times runs out. Just make
sure you watch out for all the
obstacles laid out through the
course! |
| |
|
Lakitu Launch |
|
This mini game is also the same
one that is in Super Mario 64
DS. For some reason, Lakitus
wanted to have Spinies shot into
hollowed out shells. Well, the
only way to do that is to take
the slingshot in hand and launch
the Spinies! |
| |
|
Danger, Bomb-Omb! Danger! |
|
This mini game is one of the new
ones not found in Super Mario 64
DS. The object of this game is
to control a Bomb-Omb with the
touch screen and avoid the
fireballs. Oh, yeah, there's
also a big Bowser statue waiting
with a flame coming out of his
mouth... |
| |
|
Whack-A-Monty |
|
Ever gone to an arcade and seen
that famous Whack-A-Mole game?
Of course, Nintendo needed to
embody the spirit of the game,
which they did. Whack Monty as
many times as you can, but make
sure you don't smack Luigi! I
wonder why he would be in the
dirt in the first place... |
| |
|
Balloon Racing |
|
This mini game is very
interesting, and very, very
different. No touch screen here.
Instead, this game uses the DS's
microphone. Yoshi has a bunch of
balloon strapped to him and
wants to reach the sky. Blow
hard, blow fast, just don't hit
a Shy Guy! |
| |
|
Puzzle Mini Games |
|
Wanted! |
|
Wanted! is another game that's
originally seen in Super Mario
64 DS. Someone's been in trouble
recently, and it's up to the
player to catch them! Of course,
in any case, there's others
there to get in the way. Make
sure to find the right person! |
| |
|
Which Wiggler? |
|
Terrible tempers run rampant, so
making Wiggler mad doesn't help.
The goal of this mini game is to
pick out the Wiggler that
matches the one they show. Of
course, they'll be in different
positions and stuff, only trying
to make it harder. |
| |
|
Hide And Boo Seek |
|
Boos are hiding....and it's up
to the player to find them! The
lights go out, and the stylus
serves as a flashlight,
uncovering the black of night.
There's only a few seconds, so
speed's important. Don't Boos
like to come out and scare
people instead of hiding? |
| |
|
Puzzle Panel |
|
This is the true puzzle game.
The object is to match your
puzzle with the puzzle on the
top screen. The puzzles
themselves consist of tiles that
have 2 sides, and when one is
touched, the adjacent tiles will
flip over. |
| |
|
Coincentration |
|
A Coin Purse is up top, and he's
about to rip open and let a rain
storm of coins fall down.
Luckily, there's blocks to catch
the coins, but they're covered!
Simply touch the blocks with the
coins, but make sure that blocks
without coins remain covered. |
| |
|
Table Mini Games |
|
Memory Match |
|
One of the classic mini games,
Memory Match transcends Mario
itself, although this game did
show up in Super Mario 64 DS and
in the original Mario Party.
Simply match 2 of the cards,
though they are flipped down to
start. |
| |
|
Picture Poker |
|
Anyone up for a game of 5-Card
Draw? This is simply a true
poker game, minus the fact that
there are 5 of each card instead
of the standard four. The best
hand wins, so if you think you
got it, bet more coins! |
| |
|
Pair-A-Gone |
|
This game is quite the
interesting game. It's like
Memory Match, but it's not
Memory Match. A lot of cards
(face up) will be laid out on
the table, and the player needs
to match cards vertically,
horizontally, and diagonally.
Eliminate all the cards to win! |
| |
|
Variety |
|
Mario's Slides |
|
Unless you have a real issue
with Mario, you're not going to
want to send him into the
Piranha Plants! The goal of this
game is to guide Mario by
drawing slides to let him reach
the Power Star, though one wrong
slide leads him to those plants! |
| |
|
Sort of 'Splode |
|
'Splode. Not explode, 'splode.
The ironic thing is that my
friends and I were already
calling it that way before this
game. The point of this game is
to guide the red Bomb-Ombs to
the red area and the black Bomb-Ombs
to the black area before the
explode. |
| |
|
Bounce and Trounce |
|
Time to let Mario go into a
freefall. The goal of the game
is to have Mario gain points by
bouncing on multiple Fly Guys in
the air. Oh yeah, there's also 3
Mario's going for the Fly Guys,
so be fast and don't let any
fall through! |
| |
|
Bomb-Omb Squad |
|
Apparently, there's a world out
there were parachuting Bomb-Ombs
all of a sudden decided to fall
from the sky and destroy a
garden. Never saw it coming. But
the only lines of defense is the
slingshot - knock 'em out of the
air! |
| |
|
Trampoline Time |
|
Bounce, Bounce, Bounce.
Actually, that's what Shysters
from Super Mario RPG are known
for, though Mario seems to have
decided to do the same thing!
There's going to be a lit up
area he wants to go to, and the
only way to get him there is to
draw lines which form
trampolines! |
