Star Carnival Bowling
A bowling game just below the standard set by Wii Sports for up to four players

-Place yourself where you want, and carefully tilt the Remote on release to curve the ball to your liking

Trail by Tile
A nifty little puzzler that’ll have you finding a specific pattern in a grid of familiar faces

-Star with the characters on the top and look for surrounding similarity

Flagging Rights
The only game in Mario Party 8 to use the Nunchuk attachment, use the Shyguy as a mirror and raise your flag accordingly

-Don’t let Shyguy psyche you out, cause he’ll try. Take your time before raisinf those arms

Canyon Cruisers
Stick you Mii in its own mini pod race, sporting some cool lighting effects

-Be on the look out for obstacles, but don’t tilt too hard, as your steering will give out.

Table Tennis Menace
A fairly standard game of table tennis

-Nothing to intense here. No need to over exert your hand, just hold steady and flick your wrist

Puzzle Pillars
Line up columns of the same color to make them disappear

-Match up the larger, double-sized blocks because they’re easier to make lines with and they’ll give you more points

Chomping Frenzy
A one player game where you shoot the desired food into a chomps mouth

-Once more chomps appear shoot similar foods in groups before cycling to the next craving

Moped Mayhem
Put your Mii in a teo wheeled race with 30 of the most famous characters in all gamedom across three tracks

-As usual, careful with steering. Too much will cancel it out. You’ll likely never need the break, just turn hard and let up on the gas
