Goomba Spotting

Goomba Spotting is a Free-for-All minigame featured in Mario Party 9 and Mario Party Superstars. Like Goomba Village, this is a Goomba-counting minigame.

Overview[edit]

Players try to count the number of Goombas as accurately as possible by pressing 👁 A Button
for every Goomba they see. As Goombas run across the screen, they are sometimes stacked on top of each other. Buzzy Beetles might occasionally run across the screen or be present in a stack of Goombas, which may distract the player from counting the Goombas, as Buzzy Beetles are not counted in the correct tally. After all the Goombas and Buzzy Beetles have run across the screen, the players have three seconds to add any more Goombas to their tallies.

All the Goombas are then gathered in a field and jump one by one as they are counted, until all of them have been tallied. The player with the closest tally to the correct tally, or any player that has the correct tally, wins.
