Billistics

Billistics is a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party 9. The name of this minigame is a pun on "ballistics".

Introduction
The camera shows one part of the tower, and goes up, showing Bullet Bills being fired near it, until it reaches the top, with the players.

Gameplay
Players must survive on the top of a tower for sixty seconds, avoiding the Bullet Bills that fly across it. There are two types of Bullet Bills; the normal Bullet Bills that fly in a straight path, and Bull's-Eye Bills that home in on a player. As time passes, more and more Bullet Bills are shot consecutively at the players. Any Bullet Bills that collide with each other explode upon contact. The last player standing, or any players who survive within 60 seconds, wins.

This minigame is also one of Bowser's Reverse Minigames. In it, the first player to get taken out by a Bullet Bill wins.

This minigame also appears in Perspective Mode, as the second last minigame played. In it, the player is not able to pay full attention to any Bullet Bills coming from behind, making the minigame much harder than normal to win.

In-game text

 * Rules (Normal) – "Dodge the incoming Bullet Bills until you are the last player standing. Be careful: flashing Bullet Bills will home in on you!"
 * Rules (Reverse) – "Be the first player to get hit by an incoming Bullet Bill!"
 * Controls – "Hold the Wii Remote sideways. Press to move."

Trivia

 * The tower the minigame takes place on looks similar to the tower used in the minigames in the first Mario Party, Shell Game and Knock Block Tower.
