Nintendo Selects Trivia Quiz

Not to be confused with Nintendo Trivia Quiz.

Template:Infobox Nintendo Selects Trivia Quiz is a skill quiz on the Play Nintendo website. In this quiz, the player has to answer several trivia questions about various Nintendo 3DS and Wii U games that have been re-released as part of the Nintendo Selects line. An activity with a similar scope, Nintendo Trivia Quiz, is also available on the website, though it only focuses on Nintendo 3DS titles.

Overview

The player has a total of eight questions to answer. Each question gives the player four answers to choose from, with only one of them being the correct answer. When clicked on, the player must select "Check answer" to see if they are correct. If the player answers correctly, the item they selected will be highlighted green. If the player answers incorrectly, the item they selected will be highlighted red and the correct answer will be both written in the results area and highlighted green. At the end of the quiz, a message will pop up saying how many questions the player answered correctly out of six. The player can then choose to either take the quiz again or take a different quiz on the website.

Questions

Correct answers are written in bold.

1. What type of song does Sheik teach Link to play in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D game?
   • Hylian lullabies
   • Folk songs
   • Warping songs
   • 80s love ballads
     • Right: Yes! That answer is music to my ears. Link plays these mysterious songs to warp to different locations in the game.
     • Wrong: Say warp?! Sheik teaches Link to play Warping songs, which he can use to, you know…warp.
2. Why is Donkey Kong so mad at the Tiki Tak Tribe in the Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D game?
   • They stole his bananas.
   • They kidnapped Diddy Kong.
   • They put lids of^[sic] all of the island’s DK Barrels.
   • They told him, “It’s on like Donkey Kong!”
     • Right: You got it. Those Tikis sure went bananas! Diddy Kong lends a hand—er, paw—to help Donkey Kong retrieve his beloved bananas.
     • Wrong: No way! Those Tikis only care about one thing… And that’s getting their greedy hands on Donkey Kong’s delicious bananas.
3. What’s the name of this toothy boss from the Pikmin 3 game?
   • Vehemoth Phosbat
   • Scornet Maestro
   • The Plasm Wraith
   • The Sandbelching Meerslug
     • Right: Right! That name’s a mouthful, huh? Luckily, you can use Red Pikmin to bring down this sneaky sand-creature.
     • Wrong: Nope. Keep this baddie in the sandbox! The Sandbelching Meerslug appears when the captains and the Pikmin try to dig up a cell phone in the sand.
4. Baby Mario and a whole bunch of Yoshis try to rescue which baby in the Yoshi’s New Island game?
   • Baby Luigi
   • Baby Bowser
   • Baby Powder
   • Baby Peach
     • Right: Woo-hoo! You got it right, baby. When Baby Luigi is in trouble, his bro Baby Mario leaps to the rescue.
     • Wrong: Sorry! You picked the wrong baby. Baby Luigi is the one who needs rescuing this time around.
5. What can Toad do better than any other playable character in the Super Mario 3D World game?
   • He can limbo the lowest.
   • He can run the fastest.
   • He can sing the loudest.
   • He can swim the farthest.
     • Right: Nice! You ran away with it. Toad’s fleet feet make him an excellent choice for speed runs.
     • Wrong: Good guess. But the right answer ran away from you. Who knew Toad would be the fastest of the bunch? But he is—with a running speed of 5/5!
6. In this 8-bit mash-up from the NES Remix Pack game, which character is out of place?
   • Kirby
   • Whispy Woods
   • That apple
   • The Boos
     • Right: You got it right, boo. Boos don’t exist in the Kirby universe—except in the NES Remix Pack game.
     • Wrong: Uh-oh. You made a boo-boo. Boos in the Kirby universe? It’s another wild mash-up from the NES Remix Pack game!
7. What’s got Bowser all riled up in the Mario Party: Island Tour game?
   • He never rolls higher than a 1.
   • He wasn’t invited to the party.
   • Someone popped all his bubbles.
   • He got a sunburn on Party Island beach.
     • Right: Yup! Bowser does NOT like to be left out. But did he really need to attack everyone with evil bubbles?
     • Wrong: Nope. He just felt left out. No one’s going to invite Bower to the next party either if he keeps acting like that.
8. In the Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze game, the mighty Squiddicus is what type of animal?
   • A squid.
   • An octopus.
   • An anemone.
   • A sea monkey.
     • Right: Got it! That was a trick question, too. Don’t let the name fool you—this boss is pure octopus.
     • Wrong: Wrong! But to be fair, that was a trick question. Squiddicus may sound like a squid, but he’s all octopus. Just ask Donkey Kong!
