Cheep Cheep Shot

Cheep Cheep Shot is a boss minigame in Mario Party 9. The name is a pun on the term "cheap shot".

Introduction
The players will dive into the ocean. Cheep-Cheep will then swim around for a second before coming up in front of them.

Gameplay
The players must damage Cheep-Cheep by grabbing the Green Shells that are inside bubbles and tossing them at Cheep-Cheep, which will earn the players three points. Players must also avoid the Cheep-Cheep when it charges at the part of the screen they are on at that point. When Cheep-Cheep loses half its health, it will become enraged, speeding up its tackling attack. It will also fly out of the water and dive back in, spiraling down.

Ending
When Cheep-Cheep is defeated, it will simply tilt back in pain before exploding and revealing Mini Stars.
