Shy Guy Smash!

Shy Guy Smash! is a minigame in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. If the player collects all of the Mini Mario Cards on a certain floor, the player unlocks this minigame for said floor.

There are six Warp Pipes, which Shy Guys will pop in and out of. The player must touch the Shy Guys with the stylus to earn points. Touching a Shy Guy will add 1 point to the score. Starting in Tropical Island, Bob-ombs will also appear in the Warp Pipes; however, touching a Bob-omb will detract 5 points from the score. Shy Guys and Bob-ombs will stay on screen for approximately two seconds before retreating and appearing in new locations. However, new Shy Guys and/or Bob-ombs will appear immediately if the player touches all Shy Guys on screen.

The goal score for each floor always starts at 25 points. Each time the player exceeds the goal score for a floor, it is automatically set to the player's new record after the minigame is completed. Pressing Start during the minigame will exit gameplay and return to the level select menu without setting a new goal score, even if it was exceeded.

After reaching the goal score for the minigame in Mushroom Mayhem, Tropical Island, and Pipe Works, Special Kit 1 is unlocked for the Construction Zone.

After reaching the goal score in Magnet Mania, Lava Dome, and Toadstool Castle, Special Kit 2 is unlocked.

After reaching the goal score in Spooky Attic and Jungle Hijinks, Special Kit 3 is unlocked.
