Twist Ending

Twist Ending is a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party 9.

Introduction
The Captain is seen walking inside the room toward a Treasure Chest. Then, the camera splits into four screens and the minigame begins.

Gameplay
The players must tilt the to the right direction to spin a dial and match its red line with the mark printed on the chest. However, if the player spins it too fast, the line will pass the mark and the player must spin it again. Unlocking the chest, the players must open a silver chest, but its dial has a faster spin. Opening it, there is a golden chest, with an even faster dial.

Ending
The player who opens the golden chest first gets a big diamond. The second player gets a medium-sized diamond. The third-placed gets a small diamond and the last-placed player gets a tiny diamond (if he or she be able to open the chest before the time runs out). These diamonds are colored according to the players' tally color.
