Flip the Chimp is a duel and 4-player mini-game in Mario Party 8.

Opening[]

A Ferris wheel ridden by Goombas and Koopa Troopas and a flying hot air balloon in the background are shown. A carnival-style arrangement of the Ground Theme can be heard playing. The camera then moves to show a Ukiki hanging on a tree. A coconut falls onto the Ukiki's head, causing him to scream and fall slightly down the tree. Lastly, the screen splits into four sections, or two in the Duel version, with each section showing a Ukiki hanging on a tree and each player's character standing beside it.

Gameplay[]

The object for each player is to control the Ukikis climbing the trees to the finish line marked by a red pennant banner. During the climb, coconuts fall down either the left or the right side of the tree, and the player can use their Wii Remote to flip their Ukiki between the left and right sides of the tree to dodge the coconuts along the way. If a Ukiki's head is hit, it moves forcefully down the tree, just as in the opening. Whoever has their Ukiki reach the finish line first is the winner. However, it is possible for multiple characters to win, or even for the minigame to end in a tie in the Duel variation.

Ending[]

The Ukiki comes down, and more Ukikis cheer while any winning character performs their respective victory animation. In the Duel variant, if each character's Ukiki reaches the finish line at the same time, the camera cuts straight to the characters, who face the screen and perform their respective losing animations.

Controls[]

  • Wii Remote (vertical): Flip Ukiki
