Aim of the Game is a Battle and Duel minigame in Mario Party 8 and a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party: The Top 100.

Overview

Mario Party 8 (Battle version)

In the introduction, the players are seen in a casino with guns in their hands, where cards are released from a top hat.

Each player must shoot five cards from a falling deck and try to get the highest score. The cards flip repetitively, and the number on each card (and therefore the point value) is visible for only a short while. The numbers are 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, ×2 (which doubles the player's current score), and ×0 (which reduces the player's total score to zero). The "×" cards are multipliers. The minigame ends after every player has shot five cards or if every card has fallen. Afterwards, the value of the cards gets added up and/or multiplied. Any player with the most points wins. If nobody has any points or if both players end with the same score in the Duel verson, the minigame ends in a tie. The highest possible score a player can receive is 800 points, which can be obtained by either hitting one "50" card and four "×2" cards afterwards or hitting two "50" cards and three "×2" cards afterwards.

The minigame ends with the winner(s) (including second-place players in Mario Party: The Top 100) doing their winning animation(s), while the loser(s) do(es) their losing animation(s). In the event of nobody getting points (or both players get the same amount of points in the Duel version) in Mario Party 8, every player does their losing animation.
