Spooky Spike is a single-player minigame found in Mario Party Advance.

Introduction[edit]

A Boo spikes a ball at the player, who deflects it from the ground.

Gameplay[edit]

The player attempts to dive to hit the balls the Boo spikes to earn points. The Boo spikes a ball in one of four directions: in front, behind, to the left, or to the right of the player. The player can see the shadow on the ground that comes from the ball to tell which direction it is going. If the player gets a certain number of points, the player wins.

In the Shroom City mode, the player must spike ten balls in 30 seconds to win. In Mini-Game Attack, the player must spike fifteen balls within 30 seconds. In Play Land, the player must earn as many points as possible; the minigame ends in this mode when a ball hits the ground.

Controls[edit]

  • +Control Pad – Dive

In-game text[edit]

When Boo spikes the ball, dive into the sand for a save. Watch the shadows!
