Mario Party DS - Flash and Dash

Mario Party DS features a total of 74 mini-games, most of which utilize the unique features of the DS. While several mini-games use the buttons and control pad, others use the stylus and four mini-games use the microphone. For example, "Soccer Survival" involves trying to dodge soccer balls being kicked by a Goomba. "Camera Shy" involves characters taking photos of other characters and "Short Fuse" involves blowing on a fuse of a bomb in hopes to be the last player to survive. "Star Catchers" is a game where you need to tap stars that appear in the sky, and the goal is to get the most stars. "Shuffleboard Showdown" is a game in which one player shoots poker chips while three other players dodge the projectiles. Others include "Globe Gunners", a game in which the players run around on a globe, shooting projectiles at each other, and boss minigames, in which the player battles villains from the Mario series, such as Bowser and Dry Bones. In Multiplayer mode, there is an Extras Mode, where you can team up with a friend to trap the other players (Pen Pals),or you could play against another player in Desert Duel. You can't play the Boss minigames when you are connecting with your friends in Multiplayer mode. In "Puzzle Mode", the player plays puzzle games from previous instalments of the Mario Party series: "Mario's Puzzle Party" from Mario Party 3, "Bob-omb Breakers" from Mario Party 4, "Piece Out" from Mario Party 5, "Block Star" from Mario Party 6, and "Stick and Spin" from Mario Party 7. There is also "Triangle Twisters", a new game in which the player twist triangles to create a given shape. This game is unlocked after completing story mode. All minigames are divided into any of these 5 types: 4-player: 4 players fight each other. 2-vs.-2: 2 Players versus 2 Players. 1-vs.-3: 1 player versus 3 others. Battle: Similar to normal 4-player games, with the exception of a determined amount of coins subtracted from each player to make a jackpot. The first place winner gets most of the coins, while the runner-up gets the rest of it. Play then resumes normally. Boss Minigames: Battle by yourself against one of the five bosses: Piranha Plant, Hammer Bro, Dry Bones, Kamek or Bowser. Enjoy!
