Spike-n-Span

Spike-n-Span is a 1-vs-Rivals minigame in Mario Party 9.
==Opening==
After a Spiked Ball lands on the floor, surprising the rivals, it rolls toward the leftmost rival, who jumps over the Spiked Ball to dodge it.
==Gameplay==
The solo character has to jump at the floor from below to try and maneuver the Spiked Balls into hitting the rivals. Arrows indicate the landing spot of a Spiked Ball but not where it goes after landing. Hitting the floor underneath a Spiked Ball causes it to bounce, and depending on the angle, this may cause the Spiked Ball to also change direction. If the floor is hit under a rival, they stumble. If a Spiked Ball goes offscreen, a different one falls a few seconds later. If a rival touches a Spiked Ball, they are eliminated. If every rival is eliminated within the 30-second time limit, the solo character wins, but if at least one rival remains when time is up, the rivals win.
==Controls==
The minigame requires the Wii Remote to be held sideways. This is one of the 1-vs-Rivals minigames in which the controls are the same for both the solo and rival sides.
