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.

Relatively few Free-For-All minigames are turned into 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 Spike Balls on the way down.
 * Tumble Temple - Be the first player to get smashed by a Spike Ball.

Trivia

 * Reverse Minigames are considered as the easiest kind of minigame to play, as "losing" is only way to win these kinds of games.
