Snipe for the Picking

Snipe for the Picking is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 8, as well as a single-player minigame in Test for the Best. Its name is a pun on the expression "ripe for the picking."

Introduction
The first player enters a shooting range, where Ukikis are turning gears. The player then has a shot that does not count, then the game starts.

Gameplay
In this game, the players are in a small room filled with gears that are being cranked by an Ukiki, where apple-shaped targets will slide in front of them. The players need to shoot target zones attached to them that give the players 10, 30, or 100 points. Each target stays on the screen for one whole second, so the players need to shoot the targets quickly. The targets will not have the point zones in the same locations. Whoever has the most points after all the targets wins.

Ending
The losers are carried away by Ukikis behind the winner, who does their victory pose.

Test for the Best
In Test for the Best, the player plays alone in this minigame and must shoot the targets to earn as many points as possible within 30 seconds. The scores required to earn a certain point total are as follows:

Controls

 * Wii Remote: Use the Pointer to move the cursor.

In-game text

 * Rules – "Rack up the biggest score by shooting the target zones with the highest numbers."
