Mario Party 4 guide By, SpyGuy101 This is my second guide. My first guide was recently made in December for Animal Crossing. I noticed there were no guides for this game so I decided to make one. Like animal Crossing, it's impossible to make a direct good walkthrough since there isn't really a storymode or anything like that. If your interested in making a guide yourself go to my animal crossing guide and at the top of it I tell you how. Table of contents: 1. Version history 2.

Mini Games Here is a list of mini games I came up with. Most of the games are listed but not all since I'm not using anything to copy off of except the game itself. It includes the name of the game, what it is all about and the controls. ======================= a) 4-player mini games: ======================= There are 16 mini games. I found all of the mini games so this section should be helpful. The mini games are in order so if you haven't found one yet you can look on this chart to see which ones you need to still find: | | | Name of game | What's in this game | Controls | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Manta rings | Dive through the rings while swimming in | Move the joystick | the ocean. Each blue ring is worth 1 point | around to move the | and each gold ring is worth 3 points.

Not much else | | to say. | | ===================== b) 1 vs. 3 mini games ===================== I still need 2 more of the 1 vs. 3 mini games. I ordered it like I did for the 4-player mini games so once again if you don't know what mini game you need you can look on this chart. Here is the list: | | | Name of game | Description of game and whats in it | Controls | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1. Candlelight | One player holds a candle, while the other | Lone player: Use Fight | three try to extinguish it with their water | joystick to move. | guns.

The candle can sustain five hits | your water gun. | before it goes out. | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 2. Makin' Waves| To be continued... Storymode Mini Games: There are 5 mini games that you can get in one player mode by beating each level. They are listed below: Name of game | What the game is | Controls | | | Goomba's chance game | This game is acquired after you beat | joystick | Goomba's greedy gala.

Level of difficulty and team matches ******************************************************************************** Below is a list of all of the mini games and it says if they're team match and if they are considered easy. If a game is team match it means you can play on a team, even if it's not a 2 vs. 2 mini game. To play a team match select play mini games(the first choice). The second choice says team play. You can only play the games that I listed as a team match game. Others you can only play on normal free for all mode. As far as I know, every 4 player mini game is team match. Easy means that they are kind of excluded from the bunch. When you play a normal game you get to choose if you want to play easy mode or not. If you choose easy mode you will only be allowed to play the easy mini games. Here are the games listed below: ==================== a)4 player mini games ==================== All of the 4 player mini games can be played on team mode. These are my favorite type of games. Here's the list: Manta Rings--------------------Team Match---------------Easy Slime Time---------------------Team Match---------------Easy Booksquirm---------------------Team Match---------------Easy Mario Medley-------------------Team Match------------------- Avalanche!---------------------Team Match------------------- Domination---------------------Team Match---------------Easy Paratrooper Plunge-------------Team Match---------------Easy Toad's Quick Draw--------------Team Match---------------Easy Three Throw--------------------Team Match---------------Easy Photo Finish-------------------Team Match---------------Easy Mr. Blizzard's Brigade---------Team Match---------------Easy Bob-omb Breakers---------------Team Match------------------- Long claw of the law-----------Team match---------------Easy Stamp Out!---------------------Team Match---------------Easy Mario Speedwagons--------------Team Match------------------- Take a breather----------------Team Match---------------Easy ================== b)1 vs. 3 mini games ================== I still need to find 3 more 1 vs. 3 mini games, so this part isn't complete yet. I don't think any of the 1 vs. 3 mini games are team Matches. Here are the 1 vs. 3 mini games below: Candlelight Flight--------------------------------------Easy Makin' Waves--------------------------------------------Easy Hide and go BOOM!---------------------------------------Easy ???-----------------------------------------------------Easy Fish n' drips----------------------------------------------- ???-----------------------------------------------------Easy Money belts---------------------------------------------Easy ???--------------------------------------------------------- Blame it on the crane--------------------------------------- ================== c)2 vs. 2 mini games ================== Of course every mini game in this section is a team match. I recently found the mini game "Dungeon Duos" which completed my list here. Once again they are listed below: The great deflate-------------Team Match-----------------Easy Revers-a-bomb-----------------Team Match-----------------Easy Right Oar Left?---------------Team Match--------------------- Cliffhangers------------------Team Match-----------------Easy Team Treasure Trek------------Team Match--------------------- Pair-a-sailing----------------Team match-----------------Easy Order up----------------------Team match-----------------Easy Dungeon Duos------------------Team Match-----------------Easy Cheep Cheep Sweep-------------Team Match--------------------- ================= d)Battle Mini Games ================= I've only got four out of the six Battle games so this section isn't complete either. Yeh, well I'm getting bored of writing all these little summary sentences for everything so Lets get on with it: Trace race--------------------Team Match--------------------- Chain Chomp Fever-------------Team Match-----------------Easy Paths of peril----------------Team Match--------------------- ???---------------------------Team Match-----------------Easy ???---------------------------Team Match-----------------Easy Rumble Fishing----------------Team Match-----------------Easy ================== e)Bowser Mini Game ================== There are only three Bowser games and they are all Team Match and Easy. Here they are once again listed below: ???---------------------------Team Match-----------------Easy Fruits of doom----------------Team Match-----------------Easy Balloon of Doom---------------Team Match-----------------Easy ====================== f)Storymode mini games ====================== These games are acquired only in 1-player mode. Unfortunately I have only found one, since I haven't played one player much. None of them are Team Match or Easy, making this section completely pointless. Here it is: ???--------------------------------------------------------- ???--------------------------------------------------------- ???--------------------------------------------------------- Goomba's Chip Flip------------------------------------------ ???--------------------------------------------------------- ================= g)etc. mini games ================= I have no idea what these "etc." mini games are but all I know is that there are three of them, and none of them are Team Match or Easy. Because of this I have no need to right anything. I will update soon...
