Helter Shellter is a general minigame in Mario Party: Island Tour. Its name is a pun on the phrase "Helter Skelter," meaning "in disarray."

Introduction

A blue and purple Toad are seen picking up shells. The blue Toad's shell contains some pearls, while the purple Toad's contains seaweed.

Gameplay

This minigame has four rounds, each lasting ten seconds. The players select shells and try to collect the most pearls. The shells shake sometimes and contain four types of items: 1-3 pearls and seaweed. Picking up the shell with pearls in it gives 1, 2 or 3 points depending on how many pearls were inside. Picking up the shell with a seaweed in it gives no points. After four rounds, the player with the most points wins.
