Free-for-All Minigames (30)

	Trike Harder	Make a flat hand and press the controller against it (with your other hand) and then just use the second hand to make the movement.  ~ Rage Mode
	Slaparazzi	If you manage to get in front of the camera, it’s better to just walk toward the center instead of trying to aim for a punch backward and risk walking away from the front.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Sizzling Stakes	Mash the right-side button when START appears to start the minigame faster.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Snack Attack
	Barreling Along	Aim for the right side at the beginning to hit the first boost pad, then immediately turn left to reach the double boost pad on the left.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Sphere Mongers	When playing in teams, work with your teammate to put your spheres in the same goal so you can cumulate your points.  ~ Spongyoshi You can still get points when time runs out so get as close to your goal as you as the timer hits zero.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Senseless Census	First focus on counting the stationary Toads, then go back and count those running around.  ~ PickPokey#
	Social Climbers	Make big and long circular motions with your arms and hold the L/R button when your arm goes backward. When your character holds the pole again is when you should be spinning back up to do another movement downward. ~  Spongyoshi
	Can Take Pancake	Hover your cursor around any star pancakes that are about to be uncovered. Likewise, only grab pancakes that don’t cover a star pancake.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Lost in the Shuffle	Perhaps try focusing on the second best option, as many players will be watching the best one. This way, you can ensure you at least get the second-place prize.  ~ Ezajium
	Precision Gardening
	Gridiron Gauntlet	Stay in the middle at all costs so you can afford as much reaction time as you can get!!  ~ Spongyoshi
	Candy Shakedown	Mash the right-side button when START appears to start the minigame faster.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Fuzzy Flight School	I’d suggest keeping control of the bottom line of the screen, aiming the joy-con straight down to only worry about left and right. Be careful, other players can surround and block you.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Soak or Croak	If you just want a tie, stay as close to the middle as possible.  ~ Spongyoshi Hide yourself behind geysers. If someone shoots you, the geyser will get the water and block you!  ~ PickPokey#
	Looking for Love	Use peripherical vision to spot the star rather than focus on each shape as it appears.  ~ PickPokey#
	Croozin’ for a Broozin’	Choose one path and stick to it, it’s faster than changing lanes every time.  ~ PickPokey#
	Trip Navigator	Sometimes it might be a good idea to slide on a banana peel to avoid a long and tedious detour.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Look Sharp
	Absent Minded
	Don’t Wake Wiggler!	If you really need the win, just even your score every time with the current leader.  ~ Spongyoshi You should always go for 5 points on the first round.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Feeding Friendsy	To ease the motion control recognition, do large and fast up movement to aim for the top fish and do short and quick down movements to aim for the bottom fish.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Stake Your Claim
	Rumble Fishing
	Rattle and Hmmm	You can tell which one it is by estimate the length of the character’s speed or sound.  ~ PickPokey#
	Metal Detectors	Shovel right before the end of the minigame, you’ll never know if you’ll get lucky!!  ~ Spongyoshi Keep a close eye on where your opponents have already been to not check there twice.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Air to a Fortune	My most-preferred strategy is to always aim for the biggest batch of coins, to prevent other players from getting them, especially if you’re not low on money. One player will be obligated to stop you if you do this.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Follow the Money	Either take a good lead and snag every coins in front or stay behind and catch all the coins that spawn late or get missed by your opponents, try to focus mostly on one or the other, depending on what your opponents are focused on.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Lightning Round	Pick a corner of the circle and try to get all the coins nearby.  ~ Spongyoshi Don’t stay below a Sumo Bro, if lighting strikes above you, it’ll be near-impossible to react to.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Timing Is Money	As soon as the minigame begins, ground pound immediately to get 5 coins.  ~ PickPokey# After getting 5 coins, wait a split second and then mash again for another 5 coins. Keep going until the minigame’s over, don’t go too quick, prefer to overwait as getting 3 coins instead of 5 isn’t as bad.  ~ Spongyoshi Mash as fast as you can at the beginning to start with 5 coins, too slow and you get a Bob-omb so watch out.  ~ Spongyoshi

2 vs 2 Minigames (10)

	Pie Hard
	Tall Order
	Making Faces
	Maths of Glory	If you struggle with the timing, keep in mind that there is no need to get a 6 because the total number of blocks is 50 and getting a 5×5 with your partner in 2 turns is also a perfect game. This minigame will also always end in a tie if both teams shoot there 50 blocks in the same turn, the number left does not matter. So just time your jump in a way that you get a 5 OR 6.  ~ CedrikPle
	Dash and Dine	Whenever you’re waiting for another order, try to go for the farthest ingredients. At worst, you can just snag the second farthest on the way back. At best, you got some seconds of advantage for the next order!  ~ Spongyoshi
	Fruit Forecast
	Nut Cases	When you pick up a box, then make sure that the rumble is powerful like if a Pikachu shocked you.  ~ MPLgall02878
	Tow the Line	The player on the left should do the left side of the motif while the player on the right should do the right side. Keep acting that role to complete that minigame faster.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Perfect Fit	I recommend one player keeps their piece relatively still. This way, the other player can just spin theirs around until they match up, instead of potentially messing each other up.  ~ Ezajium
	Juice Box	Focus on the colors on left side fruit. When you found the correct one, spam A to alert your teammate you found it.  ~ PickPokey#

1-vs-3 Minigames (10)

	Smash and Crab
	Off the Chain	Although it’s not entirely helpful, some characters like Dry Bones can blend in with the shadows near the bottom.
	Dust Buddies	As the solo player, go to your ppponents part of the room and try to steal their dust first because they are very slow and unable to get to your part before you return.  ~ Rage Mode
	Sign, Steal, Deliver	As the solo player, take packages from the first floor to force your opponent to take the stairs and steal their package whenever they are close to their truck.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Dart Gallery	Solo: Do NOT get corned by the darts as any missed shots by the team of three will stay there as an obstacle.  ~ Helper
	Block and Load	Solo: Start by breaking the middle of the arena and then attack the bottom, even using multiple ammo. It is very difficult to remove the blocks from the bottom first  ~ General_JF Team: Be synchronized, start by attacking all three at the top and then destroy the blocks floor by floor. Your cannonballs will never be enough to remove the blocks from the bottom first  ~ General_JF
	Drop Shot
	Bopping Spree
	Drop Quiz
	What a Racket

Co-op Minigames (10)

	Net Worth
	Sort of Fun	If you are positioned on the far left or far right, always have your character pushing and facing the next character. This is the only place you can grab a ball from and this will save you some time.  ~ PickPokey#
	Home on the ‘Rang
	Penguin Pushers
	Isthmus Be the Way
	Go with the Flow	Do nothing when the balloon with Toad arrives and once it starts to disappear, shake your controller very quickly. The ball will bend a little and this will help to collect balloons over a larger area.  ~ General_JF
	Miner Setbacks
	Fetch Quest
	Suit Yourselves	When Kamek reveals the final suit you need to memorize, try to memorize the triangle and square positions, so that you will know where the final four correct cards are.  ~ Brachy08
	Fireplace Race

Team Minigames (10)

	Rowboat Uprising
	Train in Pain	Avoid going straight, especially if there it’s just you. It will be very easy for your opponents to eliminate you.  ~ General_JF If you put yourself in a corner, opponents will have trouble eliminating you.  ~ PickPokey#
	Pull It Together	Instead of pressing the button, rub your knuckle across it. It might hurt, but it is the best way to win.  ~ Mariogod
	Hammer and Sic ‘Em
	It’s the Pits	If you have a hard time keeping up with the safe spots, just follow the danger zones and right before they stop, just stay still to land on the safe spot.  ~ Spongyoshi Stay on the yellow borders of pits zones to get in the safe zone easier!  ~ PickPokey#
	Just for Kicks
	Bumper Brawl	Simply spam A to easily eliminate a lot of players from the arena in a row. Be careful not to use it at the edge of the arena where you can be ejected too.  ~ General_JF
	Lit Potato
	Get Over It	While never stated in-game, you can also shake the joy-con to jump if that’s what you’re most comfortable with. It’s also worth noting just in-case for any miss-inputs.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Half the Battle

Rhythm Minigames (10)

	Strike It Rich	Look at the shadows on the ground. If the block hovers over the center of a square marking, swing right on the beat. If it’s in-between two square markings, swing on the offbeat.  ~ Spongyoshi Sing along to the Super Mario Bros. theme for cleaner timing.  ~ Fridgedemon
	Time to Shine	Only shake the controller, you don’t have to make the gesture.  ~ Rage Mode On hard mode, the first pose of the last cue is on the offbeat, use the spotlight sound to time the offbeat right after.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Take a Stab	Every fruit takes 4 beats (1 measure) to get aligned with your sword. Just listen to the first measure and repeat it on the second.  ~ Spongyoshi
	All-Star Swingers	Red balls take one beat to come into range when they’re thrown (say 1, 2 on the beat and swing at 2).  ~ Spongyoshi White balls take two beats (Say 1, 2, 3 on the beat and swing at 3).  ~ Spongyoshi Mushroom balls take a whole FOUR beats! (Say 1,2,3,4,5 on the beat and swing at 5).  ~ Spongyoshi
	Rhythm and Bruise	Same logic as All-Star Swingers, fast lights get hit on the second beat while normal lights get hit on the third beat. Slow lights take eight beats instead of four (count from 1 to 9 onbeat and swing at 9). Beware, the music will make it sound like it starts on the third beat.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Pep Rally	Toads usually flip panels every onbeat and offbeat unless when they go slower when it’s every beat or every two beats when it’s real slow. In any case, count on the same cadence as them. When they start from top left and top right and go horizontally, count to 11 and swing if you’re P1 or P4 or count to 12 and swing if you’re P2 or P3. When they start from top left and top right and go vertically, count to 9 and swing if you’re P1 or P4 or count to 12 and swing if you’re P2 or P3. When they do the whole lines on the sides, count to 3 if you’re P1 or P4 or count to 4 if you’re P2 or P3. If they start with the whole top line, count to 3.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Wiped Out	Cleaning spots are either on the onbeat or offbeat, when there’s multiple in a row, swipe onbeat and offbeat consecutively (think of it as if the tempo was doubled). On hard, a few single cleaning spots are on the offbeat close to the middle so be careful for that part.  ~ Spongyoshi To get NICE!, you need to swipe just before the sponge is perfectly centered with the moss.  ~ PickPokey#
	Fiddler on the Hoof	Once again, inputs are either on the onbeat or offbeat. If you’re having trouble with the input, just look at your circle below your character, it becomes yellow when you need to swing.  ~ Spongyoshi
	Clearing the Table	The fourth set and double set of glasses actually have the same timing! For the slower version of the Thwomp, start counting from 4 instead of 2.  ~ Spongyoshi If you’re having trouble with the rhythm, try singing or whistling along.  ~ PickPokey#
	Baton and On	If you’re having trouble going back on tempo, follow when the circle below your character becomes yellow.  ~ Spongyoshi Try following Toadette in real life if you’re having trouble getting the rhythm!  ~ PickPokey#
