Smash Compactor is a Free-For-All mini-game in Mario Party 9.

Opening[]

The four characters are on a platform, and each of them fall into a hole in the ground as the compactor slams down. Following this, the characters emerge back out.

Gameplay[]

With each round, the objective is to reach a glowing manhole lid in the ground before the opponents do. Characters can perform a few different actions, including jumping, punching, and kicking, to knock their opponents out of the way. Once the time to enter a safe zone is up, the lids open and the characters can enter their respective hole. Whoever has has not found a safe zone is squished by the compactor and eliminated from the minigame. Whenever this occurs, the eliminated characters float upward in a flattened state, eventually going offscreen, then they land onto a castle-like structure in the background, no longer in a flattened state. Every round has one fewer glowing hole than characters present, meaning at least one character is eliminated each round. Whoever is the last character remaining is the winner.

Flavor text[]

  • Rules: Jump in an open hole as fast as you can. Anyone left after the doors close will get smashed!
  • Controls: Hold the Wii Remote sideways. Press +Control Pad to move, One Button to punch, Two Button to jump, and One Button while jumping to kick.

Trivia[]

  • The minigame name is a pun on "trash compactor."
