Ultimate Mario Party 8 guide

Snipe for the Picking
Shoot an apple-shaped target for the most points.

Snipe for the Picking
Shoot an apple-shaped target for the most points.

While often, the core will not always house the most points. Look for the small pink circle, as well as the apple with the pink outer layer for 100 points every time.

Snow Way Out
One player will catapult snowballs as the other three players scramble across the crowded rooftop to avoid being hit.

-Try and limit your defensive maneuvers to running upwards and jumping diagonally.
-Running downwards could send you off the roof, or worse, smack dab in the snowball’s target area. Careful, the roof gets slippery with every snowball so stay away from the crosshairs.
-if the crosshairs lock on you, jump out of the way.

Specter Inspector
The closest thing to a first person shooter, navigate your way around a friend-filled room with the D-pad, hitting ominous objects with a flashlight to reveal a hidden all star cast.

-Since you can actually see your opponents about the room, stay clear of their path so you’re not pointing at the same item.

Speedy Graffiti
Draw a the presented shape as fast as you can.

-Concentrate on making the shape fast. Staying entirely within the lines matters very little

Stampede
Use the Wii Remote to stamp your initial on pieces of paper.

-You’ll lose two points every time you hit a sheet with Bowser. So stamp twice rapidly then look, since there will rarely be two in a row.
-Stamping a little slower can also help in the long run

Sugar Rush
Assemble a cake to Chef Koopa Troopa’s strict specification

-Don’t focus on grabbing a certain item, and then placing it. Instead quickly grab any item and them figure out where it goes.

Superstar Showdown (FINAL BOWSER BATTLE)
Avoid Bowser’s bullets lasers, fireballs, and bullets while trying to pelt him with a blast from the Star Rod

-Easier than it sounds. Holding the controller like a door knob, twist to easily avoid fireballs. When you’re in the clear, pull a lasso move to charge then fire.
-Bullets are a little harder to dodge. Make sure you’re all the way over to one side so you can move all the way to the other to dodge the bullets. Don’t twist the Remote too hard or you’ll stop completely. Now hit ‘em again.
-Lasers are tricky, but you’ll be able to find a space between them.
-If you time it right you can also hit him before he starts to attack since every one of your attacks will cause him to cease his.
-And that’s it, he’ll use all these attacks combined but now you know who to avoid them.
-Now unleash hell...

Surf’s Way Up
Rocket through space on a hoverboard collecting points.

-Avoid Bowser’s rings as they’ll bring your score down to zero. You have a boost, but we can’t see a reason to use it since it’s hard enough to hit all the point balloons already.
