Hole Hogs

Hole Hogs is a 1-vs-Rivals minigame featured in Mario Party 9.

Introduction
The rivals are chased across a stone platform by the solo player. Several Monty Moles look out at the chase, then jump into their holes. The rivals then jump into the same holes the Monty Moles did, and the solo player stops chasing them.

Gameplay
The rivals attempt to score ten points by staying above the ground long enough without getting whacked by the solo player. A rival only has to stay above the surface for 1 second to score. When a rival scores, a music note appears over the hole they scored from. Monty Moles will also pop up intermittently. If a rival is hit by the hammer, they will be stunned temporarily. If the solo player prevents the rivals from scoring ten points within thirty seconds, the solo player wins.

Trivia

 * This game has a similar idea as Monty's Revenge from Mario Party 7.
