Skyjinks

Skyjinks is a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party 9. The name is a pun on "sky" and "hijinx".

Introduction
The players jump on platforms, until stop on wooden platforms.

Gameplay
The competitors must cross an obstacle course placed in the sky, trying not to lose their three lives. If the player falls off the course, than they will be brought back up to a random point inside a bubble, but only as long as they have heart points left. Every platform caught at the back of the screen will fall off, along with any player caught on it at the time. The first area contain spinning disk-like platforms. Soon after, the players must cross spinning block formations. Then, they must cross many bouncy clouds and rotating platforms, until they reach the goal, a small, grassy platform with the numbers one through four inscribed upon it. The first player to reach the goal wins.

In Perspective Change mode, the camera's angle changes to view the player from a third-person viewpoint. The player also only has one chance to get across, instead of having three hearts.

Trivia

 * This minigame is similar to Platform Peril from Mario Party and Mario Party 2.
