Flingshot is a single-player minigame in Mario Party Advance.
Gameplay[]
Mario moving in the air, some time after being flung from the slingshot
The player's character must travel as far as they can by launching out of the giant slingshot. Once Lakitu blows the whistle, the countdown and the mini-game begins. The player has 5 seconds to push repeatedly press the A and B buttons alternately to stretch their character back until the countdown expires. The more the buttons are alternately pressed during the initiation, the farther the character is stretched back and therefore launched afterward. As the character is sent flying, the player can either press Up to have the character move slightly higher or press Down to have them dive downward. Vertical-facing and horizontal-facing updrafts are also present, with the former sending the character higher while the latter sends them farther. The farther the character flies, the more points they earn in the process.
To win, the player must exceed the target score. In Shroom City, this score is 5,000. In Mini-Game Attack, the player's character has to earn at least 9,000 points to win.
Controls[]
