Manta Rings

Manta Rings is a four-player minigame in Mario Party 4. Its name comes from "manta rays".

Introduction
From underwater, the four players are seen on a dock above. They jump in the water and turn around, ready to swim.

Gameplay
The goal of the mini-game is to swim through as many bubble rings as possible.

The game is from a rear view perspective. The bubble rings appear as the four players swim through the course. Each bubble ring is worth one point. Sometimes, a Manta Ray will swim by and drop three gold rings worth three points each. Hitting a Blooper will deduct one point, hitting Sushi will deduct two points, and hitting Unagi the Eel at the end will deduct three points.

Ending
The players will swim through a goal at the end, and the scene changes to show them above the water. The winner will jump onto Toad's boat and do a winning pose. If more than one person wins, they will stay in the water and wave.
