Paddle Battle

Paddle Battle is a 1-vs-3 mini-game that appears in Mario Party. The single player has to paddle him/herself trying to get their coins, while the team players paddle together, getting the other player's coins. To paddle, rotate the analog stick. If the player alone gets too close to the left side, a Shy Guy comes by and pokes the player with a spear, making him/her lose coins to the team. But if the team gets too close to the right side, another Shy Guy comes by and makes each player give coins to the solo player. However, there are some obstacles on the way so all the players have to keep an eye out of them.

Trivia

 * This mini-game is notorious for causing blisters in the center of the palm in serious players, due to the high speed rotation of the analog stick that must be sustained for over 30 seconds in order to stay competitive. Because of this, no mini-game developed since has involved rotation of the analog stick.
