Goomba Spotting

Goomba Spotting is a Free-for-All minigame featured in Mario Party 9 and Mario Party Superstars. Like Goomba Village, this is a Goomba-counting minigame.

Introduction
Two Goombas run across the player's field of vision. The camera backs up and changes angle slightly.

Gameplay
Players try to count the number of Goombas as accurately as possible by pressing for every Goomba they see. As Goombas run across the screen, they are sometimes stacked on top of each other, similar to a Pokey. Buzzy Beetles might run across the screen, making it harder to count. It is important that only Goombas are counted. After all the Goombas have run across the screen, the players have three seconds to add any more Goombas to their tallies. The player with the closest tally, or all players with the correct tally, wins.

Ending
All the Goombas are gathered in a field and jump, one by one, as they are counted, until all of them have been tallied.
