Swinging with Sharks is an Item minigame found in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Superstars, albeit unnamed in the latter. Its name is a portmanteau of the word "swing" and the phrase "swimming with sharks."
GameplayEdit
The player on the swing must land on a barrel to get the item they desire, while Baby Bowser rides around on a Sushi. Timing is important when the player is going to jump onto a barrel; if the player misses, they get nothing. If the player runs out of time, they automatically jump into the water.
In Mario Party Superstars, Bowser Jr. takes the place of Baby Bowser and stands on a barrel instead of a Sushi.

TriviaEdit
- In Mario Party 3, the player's defeated voice clip that plays when they lose the minigame is higher-pitched than usual. This has been removed from Mario Party Superstars.
