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.
IntroductionEdit
Two Goombas run across the player's field of vision. The camera backs up and changes its angle slightly.
GameplayEdit
Players try to count the number of Goombas as accurately as possible by pressing 
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. The player with the closest tally to the correct tally, or any player that has the correct tally, wins.
EndingEdit
All the Goombas are gathered in a field and jump one by one as they are counted, until all of them have been tallied.
ControlsEdit
