Something's Amist is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 6.
Gameplay[]
Both characters each have to find three green gemstones hidden in the fog. Whenever the Nintendo GameCube Controller rumbles (or a "!" appears if the Rumble feature is off), the player must quickly press to have their character pull the gemstone out of the ground. The trees in the background look at where the gemstone is buried (something mentioned in the in-game advice). The character must walk directly above where the gemstone is, otherwise it goes undetected. Whenever a character obtains a gemstone, the trees shuffle slightly, not giving immediate direction to where the next one is.
Whoever manages to acquire three gemstones is the winner. If neither character finds three gemstones within five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.
Ending[]
The players run to the middle of the area. The fog disappears as the view zooms in on the characters, with the winner performing their winning animation and the loser performing their losing animation. If the minigame ends in a tie, both characters perform their respective losing animation.
Controls[]
: Move
: Pick up a gemstone
Flavor text[]
- Rules: Hunt for gemstones hidden in the fog. When your Controller rumbles, a gemstone is nearby! Find three gemstones first to win!
- Advice 1: Frantically search through the fog for precious gemstones. Watch the eyes on the trees for a hint on where to find the gemstone.
- Advice 2: If you have the Rumble Feature disabled, an "!" will appear instead.
Trivia[]
- The Miracle Book has a page called "Misty Surprise" that features a scenario from Something's Amist. The player can activate the page to show Mario getting a gemstone and Peach getting a Bob-omb, the latter of which cannot occur during gameplay.
