All too easy...
RAKIN EM' IN! - N/A
--------------------
This Mini-Game is really fun, since it reflects the old game, "Hungry, Hungry
Hippos." All you have to do is "rake" in as many mushrooms as you can, but avoid
the purple mushrooms, cause they will count against you at the end.
BOWSER'S BIG BLAST - N/A
-------------------------
This Battle Mini-Game is kinda boring, since all you do is choose which lever to
push. When you play, there are different colored levers to push down. Some
levers will cause Bowser to explode, while others won't. It's just a game of
luck, that's all.
GRAB BAG - N/A
---------------
Grab Bag was a Mini-Game from the orginal Mario Party, and it's still as fun as
ever. Grab ahold of your opponents bags onb their backs, and see what comes out.
The player with the most mushrooms at the end, wins.
FACE LIFT - N/A
----------------
Face Lift is also a Mini-Game that is returning from Mario Party. After viewing
the face and what it should look like, you'll need to arrange the face to match
it. The player who's face looks closest to the original, wins.
CRAZY CUTTERS - N/A
--------------------
This one was also in the original Mario Party. You'll need to use a moving jack-
hammer to cut out the figure that's sealed in the stone. The player who cut's
theirs out as close to the line as possible, wins.

and forth until it blows up, and you start again. The last player standing,
wins.

SABER SWIPERS - N/A

A pretty straightforward game, where you have to complete a series patterns
before your opponent.

Just like a traditional draw from the Wild Wild West. You take 10 paces, then
BANG! First one to hit the other persion, wins.

runs out.

shows to you, and make a mushroom brew. The player with the most correct button
combos, wins.

them psychic powers. The mushroom with the most power to crush the other, wins.

to lift a hammer, then hit B to release it and deliver a blow to the thingy,

higher the bar will go. Found within the Space Land board.
MALLET-GO-ROUND - ??? Coins
----------------------------
All of the Items in this Item Mini-Game are on top of two slabs of stone. As the
"Merry-go-round" spins, you need to hit the stones to lower an item. You need to
break two of the stones beneath an Item in order to get it. But watch out for
Baby Bowser, who is only on ONE stone instead of two. Found in Mystery Land.
COFFIN CONGESTION - ??? Coins
------------------------------
This Item Mini-Game is a mix up game where all of the Items are placed inside of
some coffins, and they all change places a few times. Once they are done
changing places, you need to pick a coffin with a Item in it, not the one with
Baby Bowser. Found in Horror Land.
BOWSER SLOTS - ??? Coins

12. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
1) Q: How many Mini-Games are in Mario Party 2?
A: There are about 64 Mini-Games within Mario Party 2.
2) Q: Is Mario Party 2 worth buying if you already have the first
Mario Party?
A: Yes. Yes it is. :)
3) Q: Are there any hidden players?
A: No.
4) Q: Are there any hidden Boards?
A: Yes, it's called "Bowser Land", and I'll add the Map & Key
Locations when I open it.
5) Q: What if I don't HAVE three other friends?
A: Well, either get some, or play the one-player game. It's not as
fun as the multiplayer game, but it's better than nothing...or
just don't buy it--buy Harvest Moon 64 instead. :P
6) Q: How often will you update this FAQ?
A: When I feel like it. Just kidding. :) I'll update it once I get
more Mini-Games and Boards or Players.
7) Q: Is this REALLY the best multiplayer/party game EVER?
A: In my opinion, yes. Goldeneye is WONDERFUL, but I think Mario
Party 2 is just a little bit better in terms of being a party
game, because anyone can play it.
8) Q: Is there any way to stop Bowser from running away during the
"Bowser Roulete"?
A: Nope.
9) Q: How do I unlock the Battle Mode, Trial Mode, and Duel Battle Mode

unlock Trial Mode. I don't really know how many you need to buy
to unlock Duel Mode, though.
