The game rewards the player ten coins if the minigame is won.
 
The player is able to [[jump]], [[punch]], and [[Ground Pound|hip-drop]] in this minigame. None of these moves are of use when the player interacts with the shells.

==Trivia==
==Controls==
*Strangely, the game has many unneeded controls, because the player only has to approach the shell. The Koopa Troopas are also irregularly large.
