Mario Artist Collection/Minigames

The Minigame Museum is a gamemode in Mario Artist Collection featuring a large set of minigames. Some make a return from previous Mario Artist titles, while others are completely new. The following is a list of said minigames.
== Gnat Attack ==
A classic mini-game returning from Mario Paint, the player controls a gloved hand holding a fly swatter as they attempt to swat various insect-like enemies before they get stung by one of them. Once the player gets stung three times, the game is over, though they can also gain extra lives through collecting Hearts. Occasionally a mini-boss would appear, resulting in 5 points. After garnering 100 points, King Watinga would make his return as the final boss.
After defeating Watinga, the game rewards you 100 coins before resetting and looping endlessly until the player quits or loses all their lives. However, the game keeps count of your victories and even awards you Achievements for beating the game a certain amount of times.
== Castle Defense ==
The premise of the game is that Bowser has once launched a massive attack on the kingdom, but with Peach gone on vacation, the player is now tasked with defending it themselves!
The game plays similar to classic Tower Defense games where players place down various structures in a grid-like format to stop Bowser's troops from reaching the castle. Certain amounts of coins are earned with
== Bakery Bash ==
You play as a new worker in The Baker's old bakery, having to serve each day. Levels are seperated in , each getting harder as more customers come to visit with more complicated requests. Some types of customers have more patience and/or demands than others. When a customer loses their patience, they leave in frustration and takes away a Heart from the player. Once all are depleted, it's game over.
== Go Go Mario! ==
Exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online players, this game is inspired by Dance Dance Revolution where the player goes against another person, either a CPU or actual player, in an attempt to get the better combo. Before the game, a random player-made track from the Project Hub is selected which would act as the basis for the music duel. If the player is going against a CPU and doesn't have Wifi, a default-made track is selected instead.
== Roll-a-Drawling ==
A spiritual successor to the unused ball mini-game from Talent Studio, players control a set of seven randomly-generated Drawlings, either pre-made by Nintendo or created by users, where they are trapped in a ball and must roll across miniature polygonal landscapes to get to the hole. 
There are two main modes: Freestyle and Timed. In Freestyle, a stopwatch is used to measure the player's amount of time to beat a certain level, and although this mode is suggested for those wanting their own pace, the scores are in a Leaderboard. In Timed, a certain time limit is set. Once the time is up, it's game over.
== Guess the Doodle! ==
The player is given three things to draw, and a CPU has to guess what they're drawing. The goal of the game is to have the CPU guess your drawing correctly before the time is up. The CPU learns with every game the player does.
== Sketch-o-Phone ==
Exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members, players join servers called "Rounds" where one person writes a prompt and gives it to another. That person then gives their drawing to another who then proceeds to write a short sentence based on what they depict from the drawing. This goes on until all players are done with their turns, and then the results are shown to everyone. Afterwards, a new game starts. This lasts until up to 50 games, or if the host decides to leave without giving their rank to someone else.
Private rounds can also be held with invited friends/members of the same studios, or through those given the round code.
== ??? ==
??? is a strange secret mini-game unlocked by beating Gnat Attack 100 times, then clicking Painty 5 times. The player controls a stickman-like entity exploring a pixelated, limbo-like world. The goal of the game is to find an escape though clues given by NPCs. Although there are enemies that deplete you of your health, the player cannot fight back but instead have to hide.
== Achievement Booth ==
Though not a mini-game, this is where the player's achievements earned from the mini-games are kept.

== Trivia ==
*The unnamed mini-game was originally going to be unlocked through beating Gnat Attack 100 times in a row. However as the devs felt it would be too difficult.
*Sketch-o-Phone is called "Kinopio Whispers" outside of America, likely to fit with its more foreign name.
