Grabby Gridiron

Grabby Gridiron is a 2-vs-2 mini-game that is found in Mario Party 8. "Grabby" refers to a person who likes to grab things unexpectedly, "gridiron" refers to football.

Introduction
The camera first shows a TV screen in the game that shows a football rotating as a futuristic techno version of the SMB underground music plays. Then the other camera moves and shows the 2 teams coming out from the bottom side of the area. The main camera moves away from the large TV screen and hovers into position where all the players in the area are in the positions. Then the mini-game begins.

Gameplay
The teams attempt to get 5 points by getting the football to the goal depending on the teams' color players have. The cannon at the far top side of the area shoots out the first two footballs; then the footballs start to bounce by the walls, making it hard for teams to get the footballs. When the player in the team gets the football, the player has to quickly go to the goal depending on the teams' color. The teams have to first get 5 footballs in the goal; it is indicated by the status bar on the screen. When one of the teams get the football into the goal, the cannon shoots another football at anywhere in the area of the mini-game. The players can also attack other players by simply punching. If the player punches another player who has the football, the player will drop the football; anyone for a chance to get it. Additionally, the teams can also jump from the ground to past each other. The team who gets the first 5 footballs in the goal wins.
