Choice Challenge

Choice Challenge is one of the games that can be played in Minigame mode in Mario Party 9. This mode can be played by two, three, or four players. Five free-for-all minigames are randomly chosen, and each player selects three that he or she would like to play by pressing a corresponding button on the Wii remote. One minigame is announced before the players make their selection as the Chance Minigame; this minigame is worth extra points for the first place player, but normal points for other players.

The players hide in Warp Pipes and emerge only when a minigame they are playing is announced, so it is not clear who will be competing in each until then.

The minigames are played in an order determined by the number of players, starting with any minigame chosen by no player. If only one player selected a minigame, that player will be automatically awarded first place points without competing. Blue Toad may announce that all players are playing in the final minigame even when this is not true, before apologizing and correcting his error.

Points are awarded for place in minigames, and standings are announced after each minigame. The player with the most points at the end win.

In-Game Description
"Players choose three out of five minigames. Points are awarded based on the results of each minigame. The player with the highest total at the end is the champion!

There'll be 100 points awarded for first place, 50 points for second, 30 points for third, and 10 points for fourth. Some of the games you'll play are Chance Minigames. Winning one of these will earn you 150 points!

Please choose the three out of five minigames that you think will net you the most points!"
