Double Pounder is a Bowser Jr. mini-game in Mario Party 9.

Introduction[]

Bowser Jr. does a taunting dance from his platform.

Gameplay[]

The characters have to use a Ground Pound to press switches of the same color at the same time. They have to press all four switches to win. Whenever a switch is activated, lava spouts in the background, then hardens into a metal platform, which makes Bowser Jr. look nervous. The switches will not activate if the characters strike different-colored switches, or their Ground Pounds are out of sync. If all four sets of switches are activated within 30 seconds, the players win. If the players fail at activating all the switches, Jr. is victorious.

Ending[]

  • Good Ending: Bowser Jr. runs off into a tunnel, while a gate opens, and the characters hop along the platforms, giving chase.
  • Bad Ending: The floor fills up with lava which knocks the characters away.

Controls[]

Hold the Wii Remote sideways. Press arrow keys to move, 2 to jump, and 2 while jumping to perform a ground pound.

Behind the Scenes[]

Etymology[]

The minigame's name references the McDonald's fast food chain's Quarter Pounder.

Trivia[]

  • This is the only Bowser Jr. minigame where the characters suffer any physical harm if they lose. In other Bowser Jr. minigames, they only grown if they lose.
