Punch the statue to pieces! Throw a punch when the glove swells up to do the most damage. Don't just punch a lot. It's better to punch only when the glove is largest.
This game is relatively easy for me, and it's a great workout (much like Wii Boxing).
I wish that it would actually show your character punching the Bowser Statue than just a boxing glove. Because who wouldn't want to see Toad kicking Bowser's ass? ;D
I like this mini-game. It's on of the couple mini-games that requires you to hold the Wii Remote in a strange way. It was fun using a punching motion and beating the Bowser Statue, similar to Destruction Duet.
The swelling glove thing added some strategy to your punches. It's a great mini-game in Mario Party 8.

I hated it when I swung when the glove just reverts back to the smaller size whenever I play this one.
The timing of the swelling punches is easy for me here. I sometimes can be off by a split second, but I always win here (mostly) as I have quick reflexes and punch pretty quick the moment the boxing glove is huge.
I'm probably not the most skilled in this minigame because I tend to have a lot of difficulty to actually get the right thing. (And at first, I didn't even knew that the glove size was having importance, just never noticed it at first, it took some time for me to figure that out.) Then, there's the timing which I take time to understand or probably that I am just not really good because even easy computers can beat me and I need to find out what I'm doing wrong. It's fun, but at the moment, I still need to find a way of how to be good at this one because I think I am a little too slow to get a chance to win.
It's all about the timing for the fastest results. This is a good one, but be careful: If you throw your punch when your glove is small, that doesn't count when it's a VERY HARD race.
