Crops 'n' Robbers

Crops 'n' Robbers is a 2-vs-2 mini-game that is found in Mario Party 8. It is the only 2-VS-2 minigame in Mario Party 8 where the players have diffrent controls.

Introduction
In the scene, the two Shy Guys are driving with their farm trucks as both of the them have teams in the container box. They stop at the middle of some type of farm as the teams get out from the container box, one player carrying the Hammer in each team. The camera shows a Monty Mole close up as the Monty Mole sees the other team; the Monty Mole goes back into the burrow. Then the camera moves back from the area, making the players able to see the area of the playfield the teams are in. Then the mini-game starts.

Controls
The player with the hammer: Hold the Wiimote vertically. Use the directional pad to move and swing the controller like a hammer to bash a Monty Mole.

The player without the hammer: Hold the Wiimote vertically. Use the directional pad to move and hold the A or B button while thrusting the Wiimote upward to pick a carrot.

Gameplay
The goal of the minigame is to pick all the carrots and bash all the Monty Moles in the player's field before the opposing team can do the same to theirs. The players with hammers must bash all the Monty Moles in their fields, and the players without them have to pick all the carrots. Teamwork is important in this minigame, since some carrots and Moles must be cleared to get to other parts of the field. Whichever team clears their field first, wins.

Ending
At the end of the mini-game, the winner team wins as the team does winning poses while the other team is sad that they lost. The winner team runs to their farmer truck and gets in the container box (with their carrots), and then the Shy Guy drives away with the team in the container box. The other Shy Guy waits, but then drives away (with any carrots in the back).
