Score Scuffle is a game mode in Mario Party DS.

Gameplay

Score Scuffle is a minigame competition playable only by four players. The players play ten specific minigames consecutively, converting the results for each player to points after each minigame and adding it to each player's current score. The mode has only free-for-all Minigames, and any with Duel variants do not have those variants used. The player with the most points after the ten minigames is the winner. The highest amount a player can get in a minigame is 1000 points, with the exception of Get the Lead Out (whose highest amount is 999 points). As such, the maximum amount of points a player can have after the ten minigames is 9,999 points. The default high score for Score Scuffle is 0 points.

Nomenclature

In Japanese and Korean, the mode is called "Score Attack," albeit merely transliterated (Japanese: Sukoa Atakku (written スコアアタック), Seukeoe Eotaek (written 스코어어택)). In Spanish, it's called Torneo por Puntus, meaning "Tournament by points." Its Italian name, Arraffapunti, comes from arraffare ("to grab," "to snatch," "to pinch") and punto ("point").
