Flagging Rights

Flagging Rights is an Extra Mini-Game featured in Mario Party 8.

Introduction
The scene moves in the player chosen on a ship, along with a Shy Guy wearing a pirate hat. They are both wielding red and white flags.

Controls
This is the only Mario Party 8 mini-game to make use of the Nunchuk controller. The Wii Remote is held on the right side, and that Nunchuk is held on the left. When the Shy Guy raises the red flag, the player must raise the Wii Remote. If the Shy Guy raises the white flag, the player raises the Nunchuk. If he raises both, the player raises both.

Gameplay
The gameplay is fairly predictable: Raise the flag the Shy Guy commands for as long as the player can. If the player misses even 1 flag, the game will end. Sometimes the Shy Guy will fake the player out and begin to raise one flag but end up raising another or both flags.

Ending
When the player gets a flag wrong, a different Shy Guy on the ship will cut the rope on the plank the character is standing on making them fall into the ocean. The Shy Guy will then wave tauntingly.

Interestingly, the gameplay and appearance of this mini-game are very similar to those of Shy Guy Says from Mario Party, but with only 1 or 2 players.

Trivia
