Frozen Assets

Frozen Assets is a duel mini-game that is found in Mario Party 8.

Introduction
The player slides in the snow tunnel fast, when the player pops out from the snow tunnel; so does the other player the player is battling with. Both players are apparently in a snow cave with a large Freezie behind the players. The Freezie moves up from the ground, and then the Freezie pounds the ground. The players are surprised that the first two ice pillars fall down into the ground as the place rumbles. Then the mini-game begins to start.

Gameplay
The players attempt to find crystals by breaking the ice pillars that fall to the ground. To break the ice pillar, the players can break it by simply punching it. Additionally, the players can also Ground Pound the ice pillar to breaks but it takes some time. The players actually have to find 5 crystals from the ice pillars. The status bar indicates that there are 5 bars in each player. When there are no more ice pillars; the Freezie drops more ice pillars by pounding the ground after rising up as the place rumbles. Additionally, ice pillars can contain a crystal or just nothing. Players can also attack each other by simply punching or use the Ground Pound to stun each other for a moment. Once the player is stunned, the player temporary has a block to any attacks for a while. The player who grabs all the five crystals wins.

Ending
The winning player stands on the play-field while the Freezie lifts from the ground and pounds the ground. Instead of bringing ordinary ice pillars onto the ground; a bigger ice pillar falls down hard into the ground. The large ice pillar contains the losing player; frozen in there. The winning player attempts to do a winning pose as the player wins.
