Mario Party 9 Guide › Walkthrough › Bowser Jr. Minigames

Bowser Pop

How to Play

Hold the Wii Remote sideways.

Press D-Pad to move and 2 to get on the seesaw while on the ground.

The player on the seesaw can press D-Pad to move it left or right.

Bowser Jr. is nowhere to be seen at the start of this little minigame. Instead, several balloons bearing his likeness float high in the sky.

Work with your partner to operate a seesaw device and use it to add loft to your leaps that let you fly up and pop those balloons.

Burst every one before time runs out to beat Bowser Jr. at his own game!

One player will be standing on one side of the seesaw at the start of Bowser Pop.

The other player should leap onto the seesaw’s vacant side to start utilizing the device and boost their buddy up toward those overhead balloons.

Jump every time your partner is about to land on the seesaw to add even more height when your partner boosts you upward.

The player left standing on the seesaw between boosts should use the D-Pad to follow their partner as they maneuver through the air bursting balloons.

Line it up so that the airborne teammate lands directly onto his or her side of the seesaw and keep the momentum going!

Tip

Coordinate with your buddy and tell them which balloons you’re going after so they know where to move the seesaw while you’re soaring through the sky.

Beware: Bowser Jr. has a sneaky surprise in store for you. After you pop all of his initial balloons, Jr. appears on a much larger balloon and taunts you from on high.

Time is running out, so hurry over to Jr. and burst his bubble before it’s too late!

Note

Ten seconds are added to the clock when Jr. arrives, giving you a fighting chance to beat the little baddy even if you were nearly out of time.
