Trampoline Time is one ofMario'sminigames inSuper Mario 64 DS and a Variety minigame inNew Super Mario Bros. This minigame is very similar toTrampoline Terror, except Mario must earnpoints by reaching open windows. Both minigames use the theme "Secret Course" fromSuper Mario Sunshine.
Gameplay[edit]
The minigame starts with a giant trampoline that will disappear after three Marios land on it. A player can draw more trampolines with thestylus; however, they disappear with only one Mario landing on them. There is a limit of three trampolines onscreen at a time, with the exception of the giant trampoline. If a Mario lands on the center of a trampoline, he bounces higher than normal. Also, if a Mario hits a wall at the right angle, he jumps off it for even more vertical distance.
For each Mario that the player guides to safety, they receive a point. The open window that the player must try to bounce the Marios towards changes periodically between the higher and lower windows. For every ten Marios that the player guides to safety, the structure increases in height (making the minigame more challenging), with the structure reaching its maximum height when 60 Marios have been guided to safety. Also, Marios appear at a faster rate as the minigame progresses. If three Mario clones fall off the screen, theminigame ends.
Trampoline Time bears some resemblance toBig Ape City fromDonkey Kong Land. Also, the music for this minigame is "Secret Course" fromSuper Mario Sunshine.
The icons are different betweenSuper Mario 64 DS andNew Super Mario Bros.; the former's icon shows Mario facing the screen while jumping, but the latter's one has Mario seeing the trampoline. The background is also different between the two games.
