Ruins Rumble

Ruins Rumble is a 1-vs-Rivals minigame featured in Mario Party 9. This game is similar to Power Trip from Mario Party 8.

Introduction
An aerial shot of the entire field shows the solo player's machine warming up.

Gameplay
The solo player attempts to eliminate all other players, and the Dry Bones' by hitting them, while the rivals try to avoid the solo player for 30 seconds. The solo player moves more quickly than everyone else, so the rivals must continue turning to attempt and avoid the solo player. When a player is eliminated, that player is knocked off of the field onto the side.

The team of three wins if the solo player fails to knock them all out, along with all the Dry Bones', within the time limit.
