Mario Party Unused Mini-Game: Same Game

This is an unused 1 Player mini-game in Mario Party I recently found by hacking the game.

The mechanics of this game are identical to the puzzle game Same Game, which you can find more information about on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_Game

In the Mario Party version, instead of clicking on the blocks, you use your butt bash (or Hip Drop as the game calls it elsewhere) to clear out grouped blocks of the same color.

If you are successful in eliminating all blocks, you can open the treasure chest in the bottom left corner of the room and win 10 coins. If not, you must exit the room through one of the three blue doors, which will net you 1 coin.

The following GameShark code lets you play this mini-game in the North American version of Mario Party:

800F09F7 0006

Enable the code after entering Mushroom Village, then enter another place to start the mini-game.

I know why they didn't use it..think about the structure, there is NO WAY too lose, if you keep going to the left side down -where the chest is at- and keep ground pounding you would win, well almost all the time

@FreddyLopez321 That's not true, as 1x1 squares can't be cleared.

but what happens if you go into the door with the bowser symbol is that good or bad?

[Mattress87]

@tornado123451 You have to get the treasure chest in order to enter that door, which is the best-case scenario.

[tornado123451]

what happens if you run out of time

[Mattress87]

@tornado123451 Nothing too different from any of the used mini-games. The announcer says "TIME UP," and the camera shifts to the front of your character, who does one of his/her losing animations and sounds, accompanied by the usual music. The announcer does not say "MISS," nor does it appear on the screen.

Looks fun!

[JMFSpike]

@Lugmillord No, the CPU could handle it just fine. They may have just thought it wasn't good enough.

[Lugmillord]

That minigame looks so cool. I don't quite get, why they didn't use it.

Maybe the CPU couldn't handle this game?
