Bounce and Trounce
- This article is about the minigame in Super Mario 64 DS. For the minigame in Mario Party 3, see Bounce 'n' Trounce.
Bounce and Trounce is one of Mario's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS. It is also playable in New Super Mario Bros., where it is classified as a Variety Minigame.
Gameplay
This game is very similar to Bounce and Pounce, but is point-based rather than level-based. Three different Marios will fly up on screen, and the player must make them fall on top of the Fly Guys-for every time a Mario lands on a Fly Guy, the player will get a point, and the Mario will bounce back up.
Tapping on a Mario will make him bounce up into the air approximately the same distance as one of the screens. Tapping his left side will make him fly up and to the right, and vice versa. If Mario should hit a Fly Guy from below, he will get stunned for approximately one second. After the Mario lands on a Fly Guy, more will come flying in from the side and a propeller sound will be heard. There can be up to six Fly Guys in the sky at the same time.
The level starts off with three big Fly Guys at the bottom of the touch screen whil the Marios are bring thrown up from beneath the two screens. When they are defeated, only regular sized Fly Guys will appear in the 64 version, while in the New Super Mario Bros. version, more big Fly Guys will appear and after about ten of them are defeated, only regular sized Fly Guys will appear. All Fly Guys fly around in different patterns and speeds, some in straight lines across the sky, other erratically jump around.
The player can drop three Marios off the screen before they lose.
