Slow G (Spacehopping in the British English version) is a General minigame from Mario Party: Island Tour. The American English name is a pun on "low-G", a phrase used to describe environments with a low force of gravity.

Introduction[edit]

The camera pans down from the finish line to the bottom of the moon where the players start.

Gameplay[edit]

In this minigame, the players must jump from platform to platform to get to the finish line above the moon. The players are affected by the gravity so that they jump higher and fall slower than they would normally. Pressing the A Button multiple times results in longer airtime. The first player to the finish wins.

This minigame also appears in Time Attack as the third minigame. The bonus objective is completed by not using the same platform twice.

Controls[edit]

  • Circle Pad – Move
  • A Button – Jump

In-game text[edit]
