Tidal Fools

Tidal Fools is a 4-player and a Duel mini-game that is found during the events of Mario Party DS. In addition, the mini-game is actually a Bonus mini-game where the players attempt to gather Coins.

Introduction
The mini-game sets in a beach while most of the sea shells remain on the sand. The four players are standing towards near the watery waves. Then suddenly the waves come in towards the players as they avoid it by running back. The waves withdraw back into the oceans as the players go back to their positions. Shortly after that, the mini-game finally begins.

Gameplay
To gather Coins, the players must first wait for the waves from the ocean to come by. When the waves appear and come by, the players have to avoid the motion of the waves. Any player who is caught in the arriving waves is stunned as the player is dragged into the waves back in a brief moment. When the waves are finally come back into the ocean, on the sand are leftover Coins for the players to collect. Occasionally, a Red Coin would be remaining left on the sand after the waves. The process repeats for a few times until the time limit runs out.

In-Game Instructions
''Grab as many coins as you can, but don't get hit by the waves. Red coins are worth five times as much as normal ones.''

Tips ''You'll be stunned for a while if you're hit by a wave. Time your runs carefully to avoid the waves.''
