Grabbin' Gold is a 1-vs.-3 coin-collecting minigame that is found in Mario Party 8.

Overview

The minigame starts in an arcade that consists of mostly claw machines with prizes such as Goomba or Koopa Troopa plushies. In the introduction, a Koopa Troopa (in normal modes) or Mii (in Free Play Arcade) attempts to get a penguin plushie at one of them. The camera then moves right to the two other machines. The four players arrive at the scene and are excited to play. The solo player takes the machine on the left, and the trio takes the one on the right as the camera fades to black.

The solo player has a large basket, and the team players each have a small basket. In addition, the solo player's machine drops coins and Spiny Eggs at a steady rate, while the team's is more erratic. The players must move their baskets to grab coins and avoid Spiny Eggs. If a player catches a Spiny Egg, they will be unable to catch coins for a short time. There is no winning or losing in this game (unless no coins were caught).

In the ending, all the players do winning poses (or losing poses if no coins were collected).

Controls

Wii Remote: Push joystick left and right
Buttons: None

In-game text

Rules – "Bonus minigame! Move your basket to catch as many falling coins as you can! It's three against one!"
Hint – "If you get hit by a Spiny Egg, you won't be able to collect coins for a few moments."
