Ok, this has bugged me for a while. So back in 2013 this article was split from the main article under the assumption that Different Name + Different Game = 2 Different Things. While this may seem fine on paper, there are a lot of problems with it in reality:

  • Since 2013, there have been not one, but two Party entries with 100 minigames from the past games, meaning that >100 minigames have appeared in multiple games.
  • Even if we ignore those 2 Games, it's not like minigames didn't have multiple appearances before the 3DS(ex. Bumper Balls, Face Lift, Handcar Havoc).
  • There are multi-appearance minigames with bigger Visual, Gameplay, and Naming Differences from there first appearance that we have merged.
  • This isn't an instance of Flagging Rights where it's based on another minigame but still has a lot of differences, This game is practically identical except for which button you press(Which is itself a pretty bad argument, almost all the multi-appearance games have different button inputs).
  • Even if we ignore everything above, the information on this page and Bowser's Big Blast is completely identical. It would be redundant to have 2 articles with the exact same information in them.

  1. Somethingone (talk) This article can be best compared to Beach Volley Folly. It appeared 4 times and on its 2nd appearance the name was changed a little bit but had minimal differences outside of the name. When it reappeared in later games, the name was reverted back showing that it was a 1-time name change and not a completely different minigame. Beach Volley Folly also had more Gameplay differences in MP5 than this minigame has with Bowser's Big Blast, and Beach Volley Folley is still merged.
