Sugar Rush (minigame)

Sugar Rush is a 2-vs.-2 and Duel minigame in Mario Party 8. Its name is derived from the phrase "sugar rush," which is when one goes into hyperactivity after consuming too much sugar.

Introduction
In a bakery, a character is seen putting the finishing touches on a cake sitting on a table. A picture of the cake appears in a box at the top of the screen, and the minigame begins.


 * In normal mode, a Koopa Troopa (who is the main baker) is seen adding the finishing touches.
 * In minigame mode, one of the player's Miis (as the main baker) adds the finishing touches.

Gameplay
The objective of the game is to duplicate the cake that the character lays out by matching the placement of toppings. Some cakes require up to seven toppings, while some require as few as three. If a player places a topping in the wrong spot, they must pick it up again and place it in the correct spot. The first team or player to recreate two cakes before the other is the winner. If neither team or player completes a cake within 30 seconds, the game ends in a tie.

Ending
Winning players do their victory poses while standing behind a table with their two finished cakes on it.
