Capitalization

Officially, "Mini-Game" is a proper noun and the word is split with a hyphen in between, which means the M and G are both uppercase. --PrincessDaisyFanatic3883 18:06, 15 March 2012 (EDT)

Super Mario Bros. 2 & 3 minigames?

What would constitute as a minigame? It makes me wonder if something like the Slot Machines in Mario 2 or the Card Matching game in Mario 3 would constitute as such. Should we add them to the list of minigames or is there some type of criteria that prevents them from being in this article? I'd like to know. FGarcia (talk) 19:58, 2 November 2016 (EDT)

Those certainly felt like mingames to me. 20:01, 2 November 2016 (EDT)

Superstar Showdown

Is Superstar Showdown considered a boss minigame? Yoshi Egg 1990

Not in the same way as 9, Island Tour etc. but it is categorised as a "Last" minigame in-game, so maybe it can have its own section and a note on how it's similar to a Boss minigame. Mario JC 21:19, 13 May 2018 (EDT)

Mic Minigames

Should we create a section for Mic Minigames and explain how they work in Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7? Mari0fan100 (talk) 21:36, July 15, 2024 (EDT)

This category is certainly missing in this page. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 22:03, July 15, 2024 (EDT)

I've added information about those minigames now. Mari0fan100 (talk) 02:44, August 29, 2024 (EDT)

Loosen the definition of minigames such that most Gaddgets and Souvenirs become minigames.

I have a problem. Category:Rock paper scissors feels like it should be a subcategory of Category:Minigames. But there's a Gaddget in Rock paper scissors, and Gaddgets aren't minigames. There are two potential solutions to this: turn Rock paper scissors into an article so that it can be categorized in Category:game mechanics, or redefine minigame. I obviously think the latter is the best choice. Video games are defined by being interactive, not by the ability to win them and get rewarded as this article's intro says about minigames. As such, I think a minigame is simply "a smaller video game within a video game". The intro on this article should be changed to match, and Gaddgets that have any kind of control should be considered minigames. Souvenirs from the WarioWare series with controls also become minigames under this criteria. Salmancer (talk) 19:12, February 24, 2025 (EST)

Names Rules in other languages

Was there consensus to add non-English game rules to Mario Party mini-game articles? RickTommy (talk) 04:30, March 14, 2025 (EDT)

No, there wasn't-I checked. --Wariowarefan100 (talk) 13:59, April 24, 2025 (EDT)

I don't see a problem with it, personally. Makes it easier to obtain names in other languages for lesser subjects who are only mentioned by name in them. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:08, May 1, 2025 (EDT)

I agree with Doc von Schmeltwick, doesn't hurt to add them. We have a bunch of hints in other languages anyway. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 20:19, May 6, 2025 (EDT)

Why is Snifit or Whiffit one entry instead of four?

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Isn't Snifit or Whiffit] three or four minigames strung together as a single stage? Why does it only have one entry in the list, especially as the host names all the parts of the game show? Is there a rule that a minigame has to be individually selectable, therefore disqualifying the parts of Snifit or Whiffit since they must be played in sequence?
