Aces High

Aces High is a 4-player minigame that is found in the Nintendo 64 game, Mario Party 3. The name of the minigame is a reference to the 1984 song of the same name by the British Heavy Metal band Iron Maiden.

Gameplay
The minigame sets above the clouds with a rainbow as the players riding their planes arrive.

Each player has two hearts and can shoot each other with bullets. If the player holds the shoot key and the Bullet Bill under the player's plane is flashing, the player can release it and the Bullet Bill targets any player flying in the area. Once the Bullet Bill is launched, the player cannot launch another Bullet Bill until the Bullet Bill disappears or hits a targeted player. The only way the player can get rid of the following Bullet Bill is to do an off-course and get rid of it. If a player is hit twice, that player will fall out of the sky and be kicked out of the minigame. If all four players are eliminated or there are two or more players still in the area when time runs out (unless one player has more health remaining than the others), it is a draw.

The last player staying in the area wins.
