There are three Etc. Mini-Games, all of them obtainable through the final board, Bowser's Gnarly Party. The first two, Bowser Wrestling and Panels of Doom, will only appear if you reach Bowser while Mega-sized. The Final Battle!, on the other hand, is the final Mini-Game in Story Mode, which is played after completing the board.
Bowser Wrestling
- Rules: Now you must wrestle with Bowser! First, wait until I say "Stomp 'Em" to shove your opponent! Then push them out of the ring!
- Controls:
: Shove
/
(alternating): Push Opponent
The best strategy for this game is to trade blows evenly with Bowser. When a Golden Mushroom appears, either allow yourself to be knocked back into it or pummel Bowser far enough back so that you can reach it. The Golden Mushroom gives you infinite energy temporarily, which is enough time to knock your opponent out of the ring.
Panels of Doom
Note: Unlocking this Mini-Game also unlocks Panel Panic in the Extra Room.
- Rules: Match dice with Bowser! First, you must pick a number. Then we roll the dice! The place matching the number on the dice will crumble and fall away! If you roll the dice, and get your opponent's face, then you win instantly!
- Controls:
: Move- : Select Space/Hit Dice Block
This is a luck game. However, since you are going first, you have odds slightly over 50/50 of winning. Just pick a square and hope for the best.
