Hammer Chime

Hammer Chime is a boss minigame against Hammer Bro in Mario Party DS. Its name is a pun on "."

Gameplay
The minigame's objective is to follow the pattern. The player has five lives, while Hammer Bro has three. Hammer Bro hits four colored drums in a random order with his hammers, then releases a musical note to attack the player. Using the stylus, the player has to play the same drums in order before the musical note hits them. If the player does not hit the same combination in time, they lose a life. If the player manages to play the combination in time, a charged musical note is released and sent to Hammer Bro, hurting him and causing him to lose a life. After three hits, Hammer Bro vibrates slightly from the shock of the last strike and collapses. The player wins and clears the board challenge on Toadette's Music Room. They are also awarded Toadette's music chair as a trophy.
