Jumping Brothers

Jumping Brothers is a minigame from New Super Mario Bros.. As such, it is only playable in the Vs. Battle mode, and is in the 1 on 1 category, meaning that only two players can play.

The game has a similar playstyle to Bounce and Trounce. Player one controls two Marios, while player two controls the two Luigis. The players must keep their respective brothers in the air to earn as many points as possible in the sixty second time limit. Players earn points by either landing on a Fly Guy, or on one of the opposing player's characters. Landing on a Shy Guy earns one point, while landing on an opponent earns two; the latter also causes the opponent to lose two points. Hitting a Shy Guy causes that character to be temporarily stunned. Players also lose five points by falling into the pit below, which can be prevented by tapping the player's respective character on the Touch Screen with the Stylus. Victory goes to the player with more points at the end of the game.

In-game instructions
"P1 is Mario, and P2 is Luigi. Touch your bro to make him jump. You get a point for landing on a Shy Guy, and two for landing on your bro, but you lose five for falling off the screen, and two if your bro lands on you!"
