Twist Ending is a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party 9. The name of this minigame comes from the eponymous term.

Introduction[edit]

The captain is seen walking inside a room toward a treasure chest. Then, the screen splits to show the players, and the minigame begins.

Gameplay[edit]

Players must twist Wii Remote to the right direction to spin a dial that has eight marks and line up its red line with the mark on the chest. The greater the angle at which the player twists the Wii Remote, the faster the dial turns. If the dial's mark passes the chest's, the player must spin the dial around once more until the marks align. When the player unlocks the bronze treasure chest, with a normal-spinning dial that has eight marks, the player must open the smaller silver chest inside it, with a faster-spinning dial that has 12 marks. Inside the silver chest is an even smaller golden chest, with an even faster dial that has 16 marks. The player who unlocks all three chests first wins.

Ending[edit]

The player who opens the golden chest first gets a big diamond, the second-place player gets a medium-sized diamond, the third-place player gets a small diamond, and the fourth-place player gets a tiny diamond (if they are able to open the chest within seconds of the third-place player opening theirs). These diamonds are colored according to the player colors (Player 1 gets blue, Player 2 gets red, Player 3 gets green, and Player 4 gets yellow).

In-game text[edit]
