Study Fall

Study Fall is a 4-Player and Duel minigame that is found in Mario Party DS. Its name is a pun on "study hall," which is where students can go to study after classes end. This is the fourth minigame in Score Scuffle.

Introduction
In the scene, the camera shows the red line above the two erasers. The player hears some applause as the camera moves up, showing various math lessons and problems shown on the board from the bottom to the top of the two chalkboards. The players are then being applauded for a short moment, equipped with magnets on their backs. After that, the minigame starts.

Gameplay
In this minigame, the players attempt to jump off the ledge of the first chalkboard while equipped with magnets. The players have to get as close to the red line as possible before they hit the erasers. If the players are close to it, they have to halt themselves by using the magnets they are holding. The player who stops closest to the red line without hitting the erasers is the winner. If the player gets too close and gets knocked off from the erasers, the player does not receive a score. If all the players get knocked off from the eraser or if both players get the same score in the Duel variant, the minigame ends in a tie.

If both players get the same score in the Duel variant that breaks the current record, it counts as a new record even though neither player won, as the screen says "Tie" after the "New Record" fanfare. This also applies to the other Duel minigames with a record system.

The staff record for Study Fall is 1.2 cm/in., but it is possible for players to achieve 0.0 cm/in.
