Mario Party 9 Guide › Walkthrough › Minigame Modes

Boss Rush

Spend 500 Party Points to unlock this excellent minigame mode from the Museum.

In Boss Rush, up to four players can blaze through every boss battle, one after the next, vying to score more points than their peers by outperforming them in combat.

Which player will be the best at beating down those burly bosses?

You may choose to play all six mid-boss battles (the baddies you fight at the game boards’ forts) or all six stage-boss battles (the titans you face at each board’s end).

Or, opt to run the full Boss Rush gauntlet and face all 12 boss battles in one go!

Five points are awarded to the player who finishes in first place after each Boss Rush battle, while three points are given to the second-place finisher.

The player who comes in third earns two points, and the player who finishes last adds just one point to their total. Hey, it’s better than nothing!

Tip

A few first-place finishes can make all the difference, so don’t be discouraged if you flub up once in a while—just keep on fighting for first place and you’ll do fine!

Boss Rush battles are always fought in the same order the bosses are encountered in Solo mode. Here’s that order, to help you prepare:

Mid Bosses

Lakitu (Sock It to Lakitu)

Whomp (Whomp Stomp)

Dry Bones (Deck Dry Bones)

Cheep Cheep (Cheep Cheep Shot)

Spike (Spike Strike)

Bowser Jr. (Bowser Jr. Breakdown)

Stage Bosses

Wiggler (Wiggler Bounce)

King Bob-omb (Bombard King Bob-omb)

King Boo (King Boo’s Puzzle Attack)

Blooper (Blooper Barrage)

Chain Chomp (Chain Chomp Romp)

Bowser (Bowser’s Block Battle)

Tip
