Call of the Goomba is a 4-Player and Duel minigame in Mario Party DS.
Overview
The opening shows the player briefly turning a crank to the tune of Ground Theme from Super Mario Bros. to lure the Goombas over.
Players try to lure the most Goombas over to their side, which is done by steadily turning the crank. The notes appear clear if the speed is incorrect but multicolored if the player cranks at the correct speed, and Goombas approach them. After 30 seconds or once every Goomba has picked a side, the minigame ends, and whoever lured over the most Goombas wins. In the event that no players lure over Goombas or they have the same number, it is a tie.
Controls
– Turn the crank
