Ninja Scramble

Information

Game:

Wii Party U

Type:

3-4 players

Timer:

10 seconds to shuffle, no timer to pick

Instructions:

"Rival players swim underwater and try to mix up their shadows. The GamePad player must choose which shadow belongs to the target rival player."

Ninja Scramble is a 1 vs Rivals Minigame in Wii Party U.

Introduction[]

The GamePad player runs through an opening with bamboo trees on either side, and turns against the Rival ninjas in the water. The ninjas in the water emerge, and the Solo player will turn around and jump in surprise. The game will then begin.

Gameplay[]

The player with the Wii U GamePad watches the rivals' shadows underwater as they scramble around. The soloist gets a look at where the ninjas are at the start, and is tasked with keeping track of one specific rival. They must track their target entirely from their movement, since the ninjas' silhouettes all look identical.

After 10 seconds of scrambling, the ninjas poke bamboo sticks out of the water to breathe with, and the GamePad player must pick who they think is the target ninja. If they pick the correct ninja, they win. If they choose wrong, the rivals win instead.

Occasionally, leaves will blow by and block parts of the screen, making it harder for the GamePad player to track the rivals if they swim under them.

Note: When playing this Minigame against 2 people, an AI-controlled ninja wearing black will join the water ninjas, and shuffle alongside them to make it more fair for the rivals.

A black NPC ninja (Marsha) is with Hayley and Pian-Pian in the water. This happens when there's only 3 players instead of 4.

Controls[]

  • GamePad: Tap the bamboo stick held by the ninja you think is your target, then either tap another ninja to change your mind, or tap "OK" to confirm your choice.
  • Rivals: Hold the Wii Remote horizontally, and use the D-Pad to move your ninja. Try to throw the soloist off!

Ending[]

If the GamePad player picks an incorrect Mii, that Mii will emerge and smugly cross their arms, and the other ninjas arise cross-armed afterwards as the soloist frowns.

If the GamePad player picks the correct Mii, that Mii will arise with a shocked expression and then frown, and the other ninjas will sorrowfully surface as the soloist raises a fist in triumph.
