Jigsaw Jumble

This article is about a minigame from Mario Party 9. For the puzzles on the Play Nintendo website, sometimes referred to as "Jigsaw Jumbles", see List of Play Nintendo puzzles.

Jigsaw Jumble is a Free-for-All minigame featured in Mario Party 9 and Mario Party: The Top 100. Its name is a pun on "jigsaw puzzle."

Overview[edit]

The first puzzle is shown in front of the player. The possible pieces to complete it fall from above, after which the screen splits to show all players.

Players must select the missing puzzle piece to complete puzzles until all five are solved. For every round, the number of choices increases by one, starting with four. If the player places an incorrect piece, it simply flies away. The puzzle pictures are a Bob-omb, Boo, Buzzy Beetle, Chain Chomp, Cheep Cheep, Fire Flower, Spiny, Green Shell, Mushroom, and Koopa Troopa (The Top 100). The first player to finish all five puzzles wins. If five minutes pass, and if at least one player has not finished all of the puzzles, all players automatically get last place.

The player who completes the puzzles fastest gets a golden frame for the last puzzle. Second place gets a silver frame, and third place gets a bronze frame. No frame is given to the player in last place whether or not they finish the last puzzle.

In Time Attack, the bonus objective is to complete five puzzles without trying to place an incorrect piece.
