Snow Whirled is a 4-Playerminigame found inMario Party 6,Mario Party: The Top 100, andMario Party Superstars. The title is a pun on "snow world" and "whirled."
InMario Party 6, the only changes between day and night are aesthetic. The lights on the ramp and ski lift are activated at night, and an aurora appears in the sky at night, while clouds appear during the day. Only the daytime version appears inMario Party: The Top 100 andMario Party Superstars.
Introduction[edit]
The camera flies from the bottom of the slope to the top of the ramp, where the players are standing on snowboards.
Gameplay[edit]
The minigame is based on the real-world sport of snowboarding and takes place in a snowy forest with a ski lift. The object of the minigame is to get the most points by rotating 360° in midair. Each player starts by going down a slope. They must then perform as many 90° spins as possible while in midair by pressing
,
,
, and
in that order. The score is capped at 9,720° (27 entire revolutions) inMario Party 6 and 9,990° inMario Party Superstars; further spins do not affect the score. If all players have the same score, the minigame ends in a tie.
InMario Party 6, this minigame appears as the fourth minigame in Decathlon Park. Here, the player's objective is to do as many spins as possible to earn as many points as possible, up to 1,000. The default record for this minigame in Decathlon Park is 1,080°. It also appears inThe Top 100's Decathlon as the eighth minigame.
InThe Top 100 andSuperstars, computer players' turns can be skipped with
and
, respectively. The minigame is also substantially easier due to the consoles having smaller buttons laid out in a square, making them much easier to press in a circular formation.
Ending[edit]
InMario Party 6 andMario Party Superstars, the players stand on the ground in front of their snowboards. The camera then zooms in on the winner(s) as they perform their victory animation(s) while the losers perform their losing animations. In the case of a tie, all players do their losing poses.
