Shuffleboard Showdown

Shuffleboard Showdown is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party DS. It takes place on a shuffleboard with chips that the soloist uses as projectiles. Along with Chips and Dips, this minigame was removed in the Korean release, likely because of its gambling theme.

Introduction
During the minigame's intro, the players that are on the multi-player team are huddled together in a triangle formation. The soloist throws one of their chips in their direction, but misses, surprising the other players.

Gameplay
The goal is that the solo player throws chips at the other three players using the touch screen, which displays their character's emblem on three chip slots marked on the table, while the team players have to dodge the chips. These chips vary in color depending on the soloist's player: player 1 shoots blue chips, player 2 shoots red chips, player 3 shoots green chips, and player 4 shoots yellow-orange chips. A chip can also bounce off the walls and other chips. At approximately ten seconds before the minigame ends, chips begin to fall and drop on the board. These chips do not slide anywhere unless one of the thrown chips collides into them.

If one of the three touches a chip, the player that was touched is knocked off the screen. If all three are off the screen, the minigame ends and the solo player wins; if there is still at least one of the three players standing, the three win.

Ending
If the solo player wins, the soloist will appear on a stack of chips and celebrate their victory.
