Mario Party 7 - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Mario Party 7 - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

Name: Track & Yield
Objective: Jump over the hurdles on the conveyor belt. The last player 
standing wins.
Controls: Control Stick = Move,  A = Jump
Difficulty: ****/*****
Fun Factor: ***/*****
Strategies/Tips: At first the hurdles will come very slowly and it will be 
easy to jump over them. It will gradually speed up though. By the time 5 
seconds are remaining on the clock, your only hope is to continuously 
pressing A and hoping you get lucky, because it is very hard to even survive 
that part. Make sure you are extra cautious of the electric hurdles, they 
guarantee an instant kill.

Name: Fun Run
Objective: Run for the finish line at the top of the tower, but don’t hit any 
obstacles.
Controls: Control Stick = Move,  A = Jump
Difficulty: **/*****
Fun Factor: ****/*****
Strategies/Tips: You will start off running through a huge hallway of 
Spinies. I suggest to just jump every time a Spiny is in sight, since you 
will usually end up going over it. Some of the Spinies move, which is why 
jumping is far more easier to do than simply running throughout the whole 
game.
 
After you get out of the hallway, you will have two new obstacles along with 
the Spinies. There are different colored tiles on the ground, JUMP OVER 
THESE. If you do not, you will fall and waste valuable time. There is also a 
trap that will push something out as soon as you try to jump/run past it. To 
avoid this, go very close to it (without going in it’s path) and it should 
fly out without hitting you. Just jump over it after that.

Name: Cointagious
Objective: Hit the dice block to earn the same number of coins as the number 
rolled.
Controls: A = Jump
Difficulty: 0/*****
Fun Factor: 0/*****
Strategies/Tips: Oh my, what were you thinking Hudson? This has to be the 
absolute WORST minigame in Mario Party history. The point is to hit the dice 
block over and over and get either 0, 1, 2, or 3 coins each time. Here is 
your golden advice: keep hitting the A button. This minigame may be 
beneficial to board map players though.

Name: Snow Ride
Objective: Catch air on your snowboard as you race downhill, but don’t hit 
any obstacles.
Controls: Control Stick = Move
Difficulty: */*****
Fun Factor: **/*****
Strategies/Tips: As the game tells you, the gates alternate left to right, so 
you should always know what direction you will be turning. This will be 
pretty easy at first, because there are big gaps between each gate. But later 
on the gaps will get smaller and smaller, so you will have to maneuver fast. 
There are also warp pipes in the way that will slow you down, so try to avoid 
them.

Name: Picture This
Objective: Turn the picture book pages to find the matching image. The first 
player to match 3 images wins.
Controls: R = Turn pages forward,  L = Turn pages backwards,  A = Select a 
page
Difficulty: ***/*****
Fun Factor: ***/*****
Strategies/Tips: You may seem surprised at my difficulty rating. Although the 
meaning of the game is easy to grasp, there are many pictures that look 
similar to each other, making it hard to figure out which one is right. 
Anyway, there are 3 different picture books that are used. One is about a 
car, one is about snails, and one is about a flower. Once the image appears 
in the middle, there are some key things to look for. In the snail one, look 
at the rainbow and the clouds. Quickly flip to that area, then take your time 
finding the identical picture. If you pick the wrong picture, you cannot 
guess again for about 5 seconds.

Name: Ghost in the Hall
Objective: Run for the exit and get out before everyone else.
Controls: Control Stick = Move
Difficulty: */***** (Once you know the secret, if not ****/*****)
Fun Factor: ****/*****
Strategies/Tips: The door to the outside is located around the middle of the 
top end (maybe the middle-right). The secret of this game is to know what to 
do when you get to the 1st red carpet. There are MANY paths here, but only 
one path is correct every time. That is the one to the far right. After you 
take that path, just continue on. If you get to an intersection, guess a way, 
and if a Pink Boo or door stops you then go back and take the other way. 
Eventually you will be at the top of the house. The red carpet leading to the 
backdoor may be in front of you - or you may need to move to the left or 
right. Like I said, the backdoor is in the middle, so if you find yourself to 
far to the right, move to the left and vice versa. Eventually you will make 
it to the door.

Name: Big Dripper
Objective: Collect the honey that drips from the ceiling, but watch for 
swarms of killer bees.
Controls: Control Stick = Move,  A = Duck
Difficulty: */*****
Fun Factor: **/*****
Strategies/Tips: Honey will drip onto the honey piles on the ground. You will 
see the shadow of a drop when one is coming. If a computer is about to get 
one near you, you can push them out of the way and get it yourself. When bees 
are about to come, the controller will rumble. I sugges ducking, because if 
you get hit you are stunned for a few seconds. And if drops fall onto you 
while you are ducking, it still counts. Sometimes the bees will fool you 
though. Either way, I suggest to duck under a honey pile when you feel a 
rumble.

Name: Target Tag
Objective: Fly into the floating targets to earn points. The player with the 
most points is the winner.
Controls: Control Stick = Move
Difficulty: */*****
Fun Factor: ***/*****
Strategies/Tips: If you see a 50 point target, definitely go after it. But 
that doesn’t mean that should be the only one you go after. Go after 30 point 
targets as well, or if you see a bunch of 5’s or 10’s in a row. Whatever you 
do, DO NOT hit the Bowser target. It will reduce your points to 0, so even if 
there is a target worth points right near it, do not go after it.

Name: Pokey Pummel
Objective: Send the Pokies flying by whacking them with your hammer. The 
first player to smash all of them wins.
Controls: A = Swing hammer
Difficulty: ***/*****
Fun Factor: */*****
Strategies/Tips: Ah, a good old button-mashing minigame. Again, the game is 
easy to grasp, but tapping the A button super fast takes practice. If you can 
vibrate you index finger, try doing that. If you can’t, then just continually 
hit A with your thumb. I am good at these games (I guess from playing MP5 too 
much), but a lot of my friends aren’t, so I guess it depends on the person. 
But if you practice doing it, you will get fast at it eventually.

Name: Take Me Ohm
Objective: Jump over the high-voltage sparks to avoid being tossed from the 
ring.
Controls: Control Stick = Move,  A = Jump
Difficulty: ****/*****
Fun Factor: ****/*****
Strategies/Tips: Once you see a Thwomp come down, be prepared to jump over a 
spark wave coming in that direction. It starts off as only one or two waves 
at a time, but later on as much as four Thwomps can come down at the same 
time. If that happens, go to the center and jump once they all meet. I 
suggest staying away from people in this game, since jumping on them could be 
deadly for both you and them. 

Name: Kart Wheeled
Objective: Get behind the wheel and race around the figure-eight track. The 
first player to complete 5 laps is the winner.
Controls: Control Stick = Steer,  A = Accelerate
Difficulty: **/*****
Fun Factor: ***/*****
Strategies/Tips: First of all, you MUST avoid CPU players in this game. All 
they do is crash into you and make you lose time. Some even make a wall dort 
of thing, where they all just pile up so you cannot move. Also, try to stay 
on the edge of the wall without touching it for maximum speed. If you touch 
the wall you will be slowed down as well. If the CPU is not letting you move, 
try to look for a gap in them, or even better, ahead of time try to not touch 
them, even if you have to get in the middle of the track.

++++++++++++++++++
4-Player Mic Games
++++++++++++++++++

Name: Balloon Busters
Objective: Say “Bigger” into the Mic to inflate the giant balloon, and “stop” 
to stop. If the person after you pops the balloon, you win.
Controls: Say “Bigger”,  “Stop”
Difficulty: ****/*****
Fun Factor: ***/*****
Strategies/Tips: This game can get really tricky. In some games, when the 
balloon gets big it will be able to get many more blows, but in some, the 
balloon will explode soon after it turns big. You can blow up to 5 times, 
then you must stop. You can also stop anytime after blowing once, which you 
should only do if you think the balloon is going to pop within the next two 
or three blows. A big advantage is if you are playing CPUs. They will usually 
blow it as much as they can even if the balloon is about to burst, so use 
that as an advantage. *Wonders how many people are laughing at this 
description*

Name: Clock Watchers
Objective: Stop the timer as close to the target time as you can.
Controls: Say “Stop”
Difficulty: ***/*****
Fun Factor: ****/*****
Strategies/Tips: There isn’t much tips to give. Just count up to your target 
time at the same rate you saw the timer go at first. A big advantage is that 
CPUs are INCREDIBLY stupid in this game. They never get even within one 
second of their target time.

Name: Dart Attack
Objective: Say “Fire” to blow a dart at the moving targets. You can launch up 
to 5 darts.
Controls: Say “Fire”
Difficulty: ***/*****
Fun Factor: **/*****
Strategies/Tips: Do not even waste your time going after the 50 target. You 
are most likely to hit the 0 and end up wasting a dart. Try to get all 20s if 
you can, since the CPU usually hits all 10s. If you want to try to hit 30s, 
go ahead. But you only should try to hit the high ones if it is essential for 
winning the minigame.

Name: Oil Crisis
Objective: Drive your kart by shouting commands into the Mic. Don’t run out 
of fuel before crossing the finish line.
Controls: Say “Right”,  “Left”,  “Mushroom”
Difficulty: ****/*****
Fun Factor: ***/*****
Strategies/Tips: You should say left and right to move in the direction of 
where the oil containers are. You constantly need a supply of these, or your 
kart will break down. The Mushroom command will give you a burst of speed, 
but you can only use it once. I recommend using it when you accidentally hit 
an oil spill, which will drastically slow you down. If you make it about 170 
yards without using the Mushroom command, just use it to get the maximum 
200.00 yards.

Name: Mathemortician
Objective: Say a number into the Mic to fire at that square. If you hit a 
Pink Boo, you’ll earn points.
Controls: Say “1”,  “2”,  “3”,  “4”,  “5”,  “6”,  “7”,  “8”,  “9”
Difficulty: **/*****
Fun Factor: **/*****
Strategies/Tips: When a you see a purple flame, that means a Pink Boo is 
coming out of that line. You should say the number they are in right as they 
are entering it, not after they are in it. If you do, it will probably miss. 
If you see a Pink Boo with a crown, hit it as soon as you see it. It is worth 
missing any other Boos you were about to get, because they are worth 3 points.

(More coming soon...)
