Mario Matrix

Mario Matrix is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 8. The minigame's name is a reference to the 1999 science-fiction movie , which, like this minigame, has the theme of a cybernetic world inside the computer; the green background of the minigame even resembles the green rain of codes from the movie.

Introduction
The four players are in some kind of lab and walk into four capsule-like containers, all connected to a computer. The players all get transported into the computer, where a large hexagon made of 35 smaller hexagons appears.

Gameplay
The players must click on as many illuminated hexagons as they can by pointing at the TV screen and pressing or  on their Wii Remotes. The hexagons are illuminated for only a few seconds. The player(s) who click(s) on the most hexagons win(s). If nobody clicks on any hexagons, the minigame ends in a tie.

Ending
Winning players are transported back out through the capsule, performing a victory dance, while the losing players remain hovering on the computer screen. It is possible for no one to remain if everyone gets the same score. The other players do nothing (only in Free Play). If the minigame ends in a tie, the camera scrolls right to the computer screen and shows all four players hovering.

The computer lab is actually in the matrix, but this time; it actually can be seen by the player; if you play on 16:9 widescreen by mods, but it can’t be seen if you play on 4:3 fullscreen
