Logger Heads

Logger Heads is a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party 9, also set to return in Mario Party: The Top 100.

The concept is similar to Log Jam and Slap Down, both minigames from Mario Party 3. The name of the minigame is a pun on "loggerhead", a former term for a stupid person.

Introduction
The players approach the stump and lift their axes in preparation.

Gameplay
Players try to be the first to split the log that Whittle puts on the trunk in half by quickly moving the Wii Remote.

Occasionally, the Whittle may put a Bob-omb on the stump instead of a log, and players must press to duck. Failing to do so or chopping the Bob-omb results in players being stunned for the next round. The first player to get three points wins, and the game will immediately end; this means that the other players will be ranked, based on how many logs they've chopped.

In Perspective Mode, players view the minigame from behind their character.

Like 10 to Win, Snow Go, and Pizza Me, Mario, this minigame ends when one player reaches the goal.
