Shell Stack is a single-player minigame in Mario Party Advance.

Gameplay[]

The player's character has to jump onto shells as they are shot out of pipes horizontally. As more shells are jumped onto, the pipes begin shooting out the shells at an increasing speed. The color of the pipe and shell determines the shell's speed, with Green Shells being the slowest, followed by Yellow Shells, then Orange Shells, and lastly Red Shells, which are the fastest. If the player's character either misses or gets hit by a shell, the minigame ends.

In the Shroom City mode, the player's character must stack ten shells within 60 seconds to win. In Mini-Game Attack, the objective is the same, but the time limit is halved to thirty seconds. In both modes, either being hit by a shell or not successfully jumping onto a shell only stuns the player's character for about three seconds.

Controls[]

  • A Button: Jump

Flavor text[]

  • In-game description: Leap up and jump on the shells that come firing out of the pipes.

Early gameplay screenshot

  • In early builds, the pipes were originally Bill Blasters. Additionally, the player character faced the blasters instead of at the front of the screen.
