Mario Matrix

Mario Matrix is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 8.

Introduction
The four players are in some kind of lab and will walk into four capsule like containers, all connected to a computer. They will all get transported into the computer.

Gameplay
There is a large hexagon made of about 30 smaller hexagons, and the players must click on as many as they can within 20 seconds, when they are illuminated, by pointing at the TV screen and pressing or  on their Wii Remotes. The hexagons are only illuminated for a few seconds.

Ending
The winner will be transported back out through the capsule and he or she will do a victory dance, while the other three, or however many lose, remain hovering on the computer screen. It is possible for no one to remain. The other 3 players do nothing (only in Free Play).

Trivia

 * The title of the minigame is a reference to the 1999 science fiction movie The Matrix, which, like this minigame, also has the theme of a cybernetic world inside the computer. The green background of the minigame even resembles the green rain of codes from the movie.
