"Mario Party DS" Games Part 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Dress for Success

"Dress for Success" is only a four player game. It involves the stylus, and it is a game like the cup game where there is a ball under a cup, and you follow it and try to find it when it is through.

Rules: Select the body cards that match the face cards. To win, score three points first, or score the most points by the end of the minigame.

Tips: When shown the four different cards, take note which character design is the correct one, then keep track of it while the cards are shuffled!

Stylus: Tap a card

Answer: Cucumber Jacks

All of these games involve a food of some sort, but "Cucumber Jacks" is the only one involving a vegetable. The only other food mini-game is "Cherry-Go-Round". "Cucumber Jacks" is a two vs. two mini-game, or two player mini-game, but cannot be a four player mini-game.

Rules: You and your partner must slice down the full length of the cucumber by attacking the veggie from both ends.

Tips: Slicing quickly is key, but do it with longer movements to whittle down the cucumber at top speed.

Stylus: Slide slicer

Answer: Hedge Honcho

In "Hedge Honcho", you are working your way through the bushes, called a hedge. You must avoid bees, and rub the ladybugs away. The first to the other side of the hedge is the winner.

Rules: Race to the finish by throwing leaves out of your path. Shoo off ladybugs with your stylus, but don't touch the bees at all. They'll soon buzz off.

Tips: If a bee stings you, you'll be stunned for a while, so wait for it to fly off. Shoo off a ladybug by rubbing it with the stylus.

Stylus: Move leaves & Rub a ladybug to shoo it off

Rules: Plunge down the magnetic board as far as you can. Stop as close to the red line as possible, and don't hit the erasers at the bottom.

Tips: You'll get a score of zero if you overshoot the red line and hit the erasers, so be careful.
