Shy Guy Showdown

Shy Guy Showdown is a Duel mini-game found in Mario Party 5.

The object of this mini-game is to be the first to shoot the ink ball at the opponent. A Shy Guy in the middle of the arena will raise a sign, and the player must press the button shown on the sign before his or her opponent in order to win. Sometimes the Shy Guy will raise a fake sign (Example: ! sign or M sign). The player mustn't do anything in this case, or else the ink ball will explode inside the gun, staining the player and making him or her lose. If the player presses the wrong button on a legitimate sign, the same result happens.

The setting in this mini-game is commonly used for simple Duel mini-games. It takes place on a western-themed town. The characters (and the Shy Guy) are standing on an arena, which is surrounded by small houses or buildings.
