There are six Battle Mini-Games in Mario Party 4. In Party Mode and Story Mode, these occur when a player lands on a Battle Space. All of the players have to give anywhere from 5-50 coins, and the winner of the Mini-Game receives most of them.
Bowser's Bigger Blast
- Rules: Players press the switches one by one. Try not to be the one who sets off the bomb!
- Controls:
: Move
: Press the Switch
- Advice: If you change your mind, you have five seconds to choose another switch.
This game is entirely luck. Just pick a switch: red, purple, yellow, green or white. As more characters get eliminated, there are fewer switches to choose from. If no characters pick the bad switch, then the switches will reset and a new round will start.
Butterfly Blitz
- Rules: Catch the butterflies fluttering about. Make sure to catch the most!
- Controls:
- : Move
: Swipe Net Upwards
: Swipe Net Sideways
- Advice: Butterflies of different colors have different points values. Yellow is 1 point, Red is 2, and Blue is 3.
You'll want to mainly use the side swipe, as the majority of yellow and red butterflies fly at the right height. For blue butterflies, you'll generally need to use the vertical swipe, because they almost always fly too high for the other swipe. When using a vertical for a butterfly that is too low-flying, you'll want to be farther away than usual, while for high-flying butterflies, you'll want to be closer than usual. The majority of butterflies you go after should be blue, but don't ignore red and yellow butterflies that are easy to catch. A good score in this game is 50 or higher.
