Card Smarts
|
Card Smarts is a Free-for-All minigame featured in Mario Party 9. The name is a pun on the title of the American game show Card Sharks. Introduction[edit]The players stand around a table. The camera goes to the captain, who is dealt cards. The screen splits to show all players. Gameplay[edit]In their hand, each player has one "5" card, two "4" cards, two "3" cards, two "2" cards, and one "1" card. The players have five seconds to select a card. Players move their cursors back and forth until the timer reaches zero, at which they play their selected cards. The player who picks the card with the highest number earns one point. If more than one player picks the same card that is the highest, each player who does this earns one point. However, if everybody chooses a card of the same kind, then nobody earns a point. Once a card is used, it is gone for the rest of the game. The first player to earn three points from having the highest card wins. If one card remains, the game ends, and the remaining players will be ranked by how many points they have earned. If all the players do not reach three points by their last cards, they all lose and are ranked fourth place. If the remaining players' last cards are the same as each other's, then nobody earns a point. Toad, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, and Magikoopa stand on stools during this minigame due to their height.
