Tread Carefully (minigame)
Template:Minigame-infobox Shell Shocked is a 4-player minigame in Mario Party 2. The minigame reappears in Mario Party: The Top 100, a minigame compilation title. Mario Party: Island Tour features a similar minigame titled Tanks a Lot.
The term "shell shock" is used to describe a disturbance caused by a prolonged exposure to active warfare.
Gameplay
The players attempt to knock off the rest of the players by shooting cannonballs with their tanks. Players can also use a lob shot if a player is behind a Warp Pipe. In Mario Party 2, there are three randomly selected levels, which can be chosen by players in Mini-Game Land.
The levels vary depending on how many Warp Pipes are going to be put in there as obstacles.
- Stage 1: One pipe in the center.
- Stage 2: One pipe in the center of each wall. This is the stage used in The Top 100.
- Stage 3: One pipe in the center, with 8 pipes surrounding it.
In the Mini-Game Coaster, the stage that's used is depended on the skill level that's played; Stage 2 for Normal; Stage 1 for Hard. This is also the final minigame, where the human player plays against a team of three Koopa Kids, with Stage 3 being used.
In Mario Party 2, if all four players are knocked out of the game or the time limit reaches zero, the minigame will end in a draw.
