Blast Off! Summer Showdown

Blast Off! Summer Showdown is a collection of 10 party minigames with a summer theme. Players can compete against CPU opponents in single-player or play with up to 4 people. Local multiplayer requires controllers.

The game has two modes. Free Mode lets players pick any single minigame and start playing straight away. Party Mode lets players choose a series of minigames to play one after another, with the player who has the highest total score named champion at the end.

The included minigames are Fire! Rocket Fireworks, where players launch placed fireworks to destroy rivals’ sandcastles; Somen Slide, a race down a noodle slide with obstacles to dodge; Float Ring Battlers, where the aim is to knock an opponent into the sea three times; Fan Blast!, which involves controlling a remote-operated fan to collect objects using wind direction; and BBQ Grab Battle, where players flip and cook skewers evenly and try to grab them when perfectly grilled. The remaining games are Frozen Treat Tower, a contest to build the tallest tower of frozen treats; Beetle Battle, where players play as beetles and lock horns to send rivals flying; Trick Surfing, which involves riding waves and performing tricks; Sandal Toss, where players throw sandals for a high score and can aim at rivals’ sandals; and Smack the Mosquitoes!, where players swat mosquitoes, with rainbow and golden mosquitoes worth more points.
