- "Welcome to Score Scuffle! In Score Scuffle, you'll blast through ten minigames! Results will be converted to points. The player with the highest final score wins!"
- —Text in Mario Party DS
Score Scuffle is a game mode from Mario Party DS.
Gameplay[]
Score Scuffle is a minigame competition that can be played only by four players; as such, it has only free-for-all Minigames; any with Duel variants will not have those variants used. The players play ten specific minigames consecutively, converting the results for each player to points after each minigame and adding it to their score. Whoever has the most points after the ten minigames wins the mode. The highest possible score is 999 points for Get the Lead Out and a thousand for the other nine, making 9,999 the highest total possible score.
The minigames and their order are listed in the chart below:
| Round | Minigame |
|---|---|
| 1 | Rail Riders |
| 2 | Domino Effect |
| 3 | Cherry-Go-Round |
| 4 | Study Fall |
| 5 | Get the Lead Out |
| 6 | Whomp-a-thon |
| 7 | Hedge Honcho |
| 8 | Pedal Pushers |
| 9 | Hanger Management |
| 10 | Raft Riot |
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").
Trivia[]
- Get the Lead Out's maximum score being 999 may be either a bug or a measure to prevent the player's score from resetting back to 0 if they were to get to 10 thousand points.
