Minigame Competition #51, Old game, new tricks.

Before we get started, I'd like to say congrats to Saturn for getting in second place, and Noone, Black Boo, Soiyeruda, and Fez for getting into the Fab Five... er, Six! And everyone else who entered, good job!

Now for the more important stuff, the theme. I had a little trouble thinking of one, tbh. Luckily, Fez PMed me an idea...

So, you might or might not have heard of Flipiberke's famous fangame, You vs. Boo DX. As the name implies, it's a remake of the classic YvsB minigame from Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for the Game Boy Color. It had various add-ons and gimmicks and extra modes and all that jazz to make it look better than ever! Hey, speaking of minigame rehashes, do you know how many Mario Bros. remakes (Mario Bros. VS, Mario Bros. DX, etc) people are making here nowadays?

Even though the aforementioned examples were enhanced versions of their original forms, they still stuck to the main concept of the game. I'm saying all of this, because the theme for this compo is...

Minigame Remakes!

RULES:
- The minigames must be enhanced versions of existing minigames from the Mario universe (that means Yoshi and Wario are included), like Wanted (Super Mario 64 DS), or Mansion Patrol (Super Paper Mario), or even any of the Mario Party minigames.
- You can add as many new material to the minigames as you wish, but don't go overboard!
- Make the new content fresh, creative, and exciting. Not just something like a Mario Bros. clone with more enemies. Come on, you can do something better than that.
- Most of all, make sure that your revamped minigames has similar gameplay and objectives as the original.

NOTE: The deadline has been bumped up to October 23rd, so get your entries in before then.

And if anyone thinks this is a terrible idea, form an angry mob and go after Fez I will be very, very unhappy.

I'll do NSMB Multiplayer Minigame: Yoshi's Snowball Fight.

I just have to think about what to put in it. Online Mode? Singeplayer?

Hmmm, sounds cool... I might enter!

This sounds cool, but I can't think of any minigames that don't suck.

Maybe you can find a way to make them not suck, in your opinion?

It wouldn't be too hard to port the thread to new MFGG.

I'll maybe join. If I get time.

Oh boy, this sounds like it'll be interesting! Time to scrounge around for clever ideas~

Maybe I'll try the Shell Slam minigame, That could be fun, though I'm not exactly sure what to add...it's just...simple.

*whips out DS to browse minigames*

Ooh maybe I'll do the Bob-omb Squad minigame...this will be fuuuuuuun...

Let's see if I can fit something in around my schoolwork this time.

EDIT: Nope, I don't think I will be able to, and I don't think I'll be able to make any more games until after Christmas.

I'll go ahead and remake the Cardiators minigame from Mario Party 8 then. :S

(The one where players choose cards to damage each other. Obviously though, I'll try and make it far more interesting.)

I liked that one minigame from Yoshi's Island where you bounce the ball back and forth from Yoshi and Bandit.

I'll make it if I can.

hmm...
possibly the one in nsmb, where you bounce 3 marios on shyguys...

p.s. Is a newer game with old school sprites "legal"?

Would the boss minigames from Mario Party qualify? If yes, I'll probably enter.

Hmm...either that or one of the minigames from ML:BIS, like the Jump Helmet game in the Challenge Node.

TOO LATE!

The example I mentioned in my first post fits exactly what you're asking, so yes.

Yes, the MP boss minigames are allowed.

October 16? That seems a bit short.
