Smash Compactor

Smash Compactor is a Free-For-All mini-game in Mario Party 9.
==Opening==
The four characters are on a platform, and each of them fall into a hole in the ground as the compactor slams down. Following this, the characters emerge back out.
==Gameplay==
With each round, the objective is to reach a glowing manhole lid in the ground before the opponents do. Characters can perform a few different actions, including jumping, punching, and kicking, to knock their opponents out of the way. Once the time to enter a safe zone is up, the lids open and the characters can enter their respective hole. Whoever has has not found a safe zone is squished by the compactor and eliminated from the minigame. Whenever this occurs, the eliminated characters float upward in a flattened state, eventually going offscreen, then they land onto a castle-like structure in the background, no longer in a flattened state. Every round has one fewer glowing hole than characters present, meaning at least one character is eliminated each round. Whoever is the last character remaining is the winner.
==Flavor text==
* Rules: Jump in an open hole as fast as you can. Anyone left after the doors close will get smashed!
* Controls: Hold the Wii Remote sideways. Press to move, to punch, to jump, and while jumping to kick.
==Trivia==
*The minigame name is a pun on "trash compactor."
