In this minigame, the player has to find one of the four characters ([[Mario]], [[Luigi]], Yoshi, or [[Wario]]) amongst a large crowd of the others by tapping whichever of their icons is shown on the Wanted poster on the top screen with the [[Nintendo DS#Stylus|stylus]].

The player starts with 10 seconds on the first round, and they gain five seconds by tapping the correct character (which causes the wanted character to make one of several dissatisfied sounds), but they lose 10 seconds by tapping any other one (with the wanted character heard cheering), which means the game is over immediately if the player makes a mistake in level 1. The timer has a maximum time limit of 50 seconds at one time. The highest score the player can obtain by clearing the levels is 9999; afterwards, the minigame continues, but the score counter and level number do not increase.

Gameplay

In this minigame, the player has to find one of the four characters (Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, or Wario) amongst a large crowd of the others by tapping whichever of their icons is shown on the Wanted poster on the top screen with the stylus. As the player advances, the minigame increases in difficulty, adding more characters, hiding them behind other characters, and even having the icons move. The player starts with 10 seconds on the first round, and they gain five seconds by tapping the correct character (which causes the wanted character to make one of several dissatisfied sounds), but they lose 10 seconds by tapping any other one (with the wanted character heard cheering). The timer has a maximum time limit of 50 seconds at one time. The highest score the player can obtain by clearing the levels is 9,999; afterwards, the minigame continues, but the score counter and level number do not increase. The minigame ends after the player runs out of time, after which the location of the correct character is revealed. In this minigame, Luigi is the most common character to find, while Yoshi is the rarest.

In multiplayer, the difficulty can be adjusted, and the harder it is, the harder it is to find the right character. The timer starts at 30 seconds, and no time is added or removed. If someone taps the incorrect character, that player will lose one point each time. If they tap the correct character, they will get one point, and a new character will be shown. When the timer reaches zero, whoever has the most points wins.

Trivia

  • While the gameplay between the minigame in Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros. is identical, in the New Super Mario Bros. version, touched characters make the same noise after turn 10.
  • One of Mario's voice clips when found (which is identical to his falling yell in the main game) is normally cut off, but the entire voice clip can be heard if the game is paused.
  • On the tenth level, the player always needs to find Luigi.
