The computer player is frequently very fast, so you'll want to identify which block is different before you even get to move. Frequent differences are breaks in shapes, one side being too small or too large, and additional sides. When in doubt, just pick a block, as the penalty for getting crushed is only a few seconds. Keep in mind that the shapes are rotated different amounts, and shapes that seem different might be identical.

The best strategy for this game is to aim your hammer so that it can hit both targets in the places where there are two Koopa Kids or Bowsers. To accomplish this, aim for the space between them at a 90º angle. When looking for where targets will appear, scan the room for any rattling furniture or lightning strikes. In general, you'll want to hit the targets head on because this Mini-Game has finicky hit-detection.

Although this is a luck Mini-Game, you have a slight advantage since you get to go first. There are six different chip values: 3, 5, 10, 20, -5, and -10. The -10 is the rarest, followed by the 20 and the -5. Just Ground Pound chips and hope for the best.

The best strategy for this game is to move the table very slowly so that the shells don't skip over the holes. Move the {{gc|Neutral|Control}} only about halfway out and focus on putting one shell in a hole at a time. Once a shell is in a hole, it is locked in and can't fall out again. When ever possible, use trees and other shells to act as barriers so that the shell doesn't overshoot the hole.

This is pretty much a luck game. You'll want to avoid going after the same cards as your opponent because there are only four cards for each instrument. Anytime you get a Miss Card (has a picture of a Boo), you'll get a new hand of three unmatched cards. In general, try and acquire instruments which there haven't been many revealed of. If you get a pair, you should try and get the third card '''unless''' there are two other cards with that instrument already showing. You have an advantage because you go first.

In Story Mode, you play one of these Mini-Games every time after you complete a board. These are the only "duel" Mini-Games in Mario Party 4, and they are the only times you'll see the board hosts in Mini-Games. This section does not include the final Story Mode Mini-Game, that is located here.

  • Rules: One of the five spinning blocks will have a unique shape. Pressing the switch lets you choose that block. You get a point if you're right, but you get crushed if you're wrong. If you can get three points before I do, then you win!
  • Controls:
    • Neutral control: Move
    • A button: Hit the Switch

The computer player is frequently very fast, so you'll want to identify which block is different before you even get to move. Frequent differences are breaks in shapes, one side being too small or too large, and additional sides. When in doubt, just pick a block, as the penalty for getting crushed is only a few seconds. Keep in mind that the shapes are rotated different amounts, and shapes that seem different might be identical.
