Swinging with Sharks

Swinging with Sharks is an Item minigame found in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Superstars, albeit unnamed in the latter. Its name is a pun on the phrase "swimming with sharks."

Gameplay
In Mario Party 3, the game takes place in a cave filled with water and player on a swing. The player on the swing must land on a barrel to get the item they desire, while Baby Bowser rides around on a Sushi. Timing is important when the player is going to jump onto a barrel; if the player misses, they get nothing. If the player runs out of time, they automatically jump into the water.

In Mario Party Superstars, Bowser Jr. takes the place of Baby Bowser and is on a barrel instead of a Sushi.
