Template:Minigame-infobox Treacherous Tightrope is a 4-Player minigame that appears in Mario Party 8.

Introduction

Moving upwards, the camera shows the tightropes and characters from below. The wind blows the tightropes and the players, causing them to almost lose their balance. The minigame starts when the camera is set behind the characters.

Gameplay

The player uses the Wii Remote like a balancing pole as their character walks across a tightrope. The Wii Remote must be tilted forward so that the character walks. Tilting it to the sides can destabilize them and make them fall. The wind will frequently blow left or right, requiring the players to stop moving and instead keep their balance by tilting the other way. The first player to make it to the other side wins the game. If all of the players lose their balance and fall off the tightrope, the minigame ends in a tie.

Ending

The winner jumps off the tightrope onto a rock and strikes a victory pose as the remaining players lose their balance and fall down into the canyon.
