Reverse Minigame

A Reverse Minigame is a Bowser Event introduced in Mario Party 9. It is one of many events that may appear on a roulette when a player lands on a Bowser Space. If the wheel stops on a Reverse Minigame, Bowser forces all players to participate in a Free-for-All minigame, where the goal - unlike regular minigames - is to lose. Bowser awards ten Mini Stars to the player who finishes in last place (twenty Bananas for DK's Jungle Ruins).

Relatively few Free-For-All minigames are also Reverse Minigames. The four that do have a Reverse version seem to have a Bowser-like aesthetic, involving backgrounds and obstacles commonly associated with the Koopa King in other games.

The list of Reverse Minigames includes:


 * Thwomper Room - Be the first player to get hit by a Thwomp.
 * Billistics - Be the first player to get hit by an incoming Bullet Bill.
 * Chain Event - Be the player who takes the longest sliding down the chain. Players can slow their descent by hitting Spiked Balls on the way down.
 * Tumble Temple - Be the first player to get smashed by a Spike Ball.

Trivia

 * Reverse Minigames are considered to be the easiest kind of minigames to play, as "losing" is only way to win them.
 * This isn't exactly true, however, as CPUs would be looking forward to "losing" as well.
 * Reverse Minigames are essentially the opposite of the Fire Bro's Battle Minigames, as they reward the last-place player with ten Mini-Stars as opposed to relieving the last-place player of ten Mini Stars.
