Trial by Tile

Trial by Tile appears as an extra minigame in the Extras Zone in Mario Party 8. The player can use either the original Mario Characters or the Miis from the Wii console to play this game.

Introduction
Players are seen standing on colored pedestals, before they turn to face the screen in the center of the room. The camera then zooms in closer to the screen, and the game begins.

Gameplay
A series of tiles with pictures of Mario characters appears on the smaller screen to the left, and players must find that exact arrangement of tiles on the larger screen to the right, using the Wii Remote as the cursor. The player must successfully find five arrangements before they can clear a level. There are a total of three levels. With each new level, more tiles will be added to the larger screen on the right, making it slightly harder for the player to find the correct arrangements. The objective is to make it through all three levels in the fastest time possible.

Ending
The player will turn on their pedestal to face the camera, and do their victory pose.

Trivia

 * The minigame name is a pun on "Trial by fire".
