What a Racket is a 1-vs.-3 minigame appearing in Super Mario Party.

Overview[edit]

The solo player holds a giant badminton racket, while the team players each hold a smaller racket. To win the minigame, the players must rally parachuting bombs onto the other side to earn points. Only one bomb at a time can be rallied by the team players to the solo side, but the solo player can rally as many as four bombs to the team side. During gameplay, the camera slowly rotates towards the side with more points; the more points a side gets, the more the screen rotates towards that side. Once time runs out, the side with more points wins.

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move
  • Single Joy-Con Right Button – Swing racket

In-game text[edit]

  • Lob bombs into the rival court!
  • Use Control Stick to control your character's movement.

Naming[edit]

The minigame's name is a play on a term referring to a loud noise or clamor.
