The following list will present sound strategies for every mini game. There are over twenty in all, though some of them are compacted into one entry because a similar strategy is effective for several races and team modes.
13Races
The race modes come in many different forms, but one constant rule ensures survival: never try to be in front or in the crowd. Some races require an element of trial and error, so it is better to leave people in front to figure out the right path and follow behind. Don’t try to be in the crowd because it is easy to get trampled and pushed back.
12Jump Club, Roll Out, And Block Party
These three games would be a piece of cake if other players were notalso fighting for survival. With this in mind, keep a safe distance from others while escaping a fall. This is difficult in Block Party where people need to crowd into a hole, but try to be in front of the crowd who usually stand in the middle of the platform.
11Tail Tag
This mode is either a free-for-fall, team game, or a finale. For the first two, it is relatively easy to stay innocuous once the tail is in possession. Running in circles or sitting in a corner with keen eyes should be enough to survive. For the finale, try cutting off the tail-holder instead of chasing from behind.
10Fall Ball
This soccer-themed matchis extremely reliant on the whole team, which can be difficult when playing with strangers. If no one is playing defense, take it upon yourself to become the goalie. The physic are admittedly wonky, but diving into the ball should send it flying pretty far.
9Perfect Match
Perfect Match is all about memory. For the most part, players should be okay as long so they follow the crowd if their memorization skills are poor. Just be weary of malicious players who aim to push others off the edge. To avoid this, stay away from the outer blocks.
8See Saw
See Saw deserves special mention because of the physics involved. Staying behind a leader is not enough to make it through this one. Don’t jump the gun on the seesaws, as landing on a sloped side will cause the player to roll right to their doom. Instead, play it patiently and wait until the platforms even out.
7Rock And Roll
Pushing the ball through the course is simple, but there is a way to win just in case the team is trailing behind. All the tracks come together during the final hill, giving players an opportunity to hold back other teams' balls.

The end of these matches can go on for minutes as two teams fight each other to get the ball rolling into the goal.
6Egg Scramble And Hoarders
These team games are all about taking eggs or balls and bringing them into the team’s area. There are two ways to go about it. One can scramble for as many items right away and defend their findings, or they can let other teams take the early pickings and then steal from them during the course of the match.
5Jinx
If a player on the opposite team has pink clouds and lines circling them, avoid them like the plague. Two rotating platforms on both sides of the map are generally the safest place to be. They give a good view of the map and offer a quick escape if a jinxed player starts to give chase.
4Hoopsie Daisy
Players gain points for their team by jumping through hoops. After collecting the point, the hoop temporarily disappears. Do not panic when trying to jump through it and try to stay in areas where other players are. The more the team spreads out, the more ground they can cover.
