Hanger Management is a 2-vs-2 and a Duel minigame which appears in Mario Party DS.
Layout[]
The minigame appears to take place in the backyard of various homes.
Gameplay[]
Each team (or character in Duel mode) hangs onto their own hanger, which they steer along a wire to the end while avoiding various objects, marked by a red exclamation mark on a light yellow symbol. If a team or character bump into an object, such as a shovel, their movement briefly stops. A character can make their hanger go faster by balancing the its weight. To avoid an object, the character or team has to lean on the side of the hanger opposite of the obstacle, which is easier to perform in Duel mode.
Whoever reaches the end finish line wins. If both sides reach the finish line at the exact same time or if no one reaches the end within five minutes, the minigame ends as a tie. If both sides break a record, even when tied, the new record is counted, but "Tie" is shown right after the new record fanfare. In Score Scuffle, Hanger Management ends once every character reaches the end.
Controls[]
- D-Pad (left or right): Move character
Trivia[]
- The minigame's name is a pun on the phrase "anger management."
- While Hanger Management is not a 4-player minigame, Score Shuffle has an exclusive 4-player variation only playable there, being the only 2-vs-2 minigame that has an exclusive 4-player variation.
