Lakitu Launch is a 1-on-1minigame featured inNew Super Mario Bros. While it shares the same name as thesingle-player version, this version is a completely different minigame and can be played only by two players.
Gameplay[edit]
To play, both players use thestylus on theNintendo DS's Touch Screen and must launch colored balls atLakitus that fly across the screens. The players get 100points for each shot, followed by 200, 400, 800, 1,600, and 3,200 points if they land multiple shots consecutively. Some Lakitus carry aStar, which is worth 1,000 points. However, the points go to whoever's screen the Star is on, so each player should be careful to hit it only if it is on their screen. Different-colored balls that collide bounce off each other. Whoever has more points after 40 seconds wins.
