Mario Party Superstars:

Shell Soccer is an extra minigame featured in Mario Party 9 and a Sports & Puzzles minigame in Mario Party Superstars . Two Party Points are awarded for playing in Mario Party 9.

Overview[edit ]

Players are divided into two teams of two, which can be selected after the player chooses the characters. The teams are working together in order to eliminate the rival team's seven Goombas. Players automatically "dribble" the Koopa Shell by making contact with it. The player can kick the shell or pass it to their teammate by pressing One Button. If the player shoots the shell, it may ricochet off the sides of the arena. Passing or shooting also forces the player to stand still, giving rivals a chance to steal the shell, which can be done by pressing Two Button. The player can adjust the angle of their shot by holding down One Button and using +Control Pad. When the player hits a Goomba with the shell, their team receives one point per Goomba hit. The next round then begins, with the opposing team getting the shell. The first team to eliminate all seven of the rival team's Goombas wins.
