Baby Bowser Bonkers

Baby Bowser Bonkers is a minigame found in Mario Party 3. As a Duel minigame, it is played by two characters. The minigame itself is based on the well-known arcade game Whac-A-Mole. The objective of the game is to score as many points as possible by hitting the popping up Baby Bowsers on the head.

Setting
The minigame Baby Bowser Bonkers takes place on a yellowish rock surrounded by a vast lake of lava. It is surrounded by a high rectangular fence, resembling a cage. The rock itself has various small and fourteen large round holes in it. The fourteen larger holes are framed by metal rings with four spikes on each side.

Gameplay
After the game starts, the players can roam freely over the yellow rock. While the game is in play, numerous Baby Bowsers pop up from the fourteen large holes in the ground. The two players have to score points by jumping on their heads. For each hit Baby Bowser, the player obtains one point. When the timing is right, players can also consecutively bounce from one Baby Bowser to the next without touching the ground. This doesn't yield the player any additional points, however, it saves time. After 30 seconds, the game ends and the player with the highest amount of points wins.
