Whew. I feel good about these attempts, but at the same time it looks like I'm going to need a break from doing this for a while. Look forward to plenty of other cool Mario Party 3 challenges while I recover my drive to conquer this one :)
NO MINIGAME WINS CHALLENGE RULES
- I can't get 1st place or be declared a winner in standard 4P/1v3/2v2 minigames, Duel minigames, Game Guy minigames, or Battle* minigames. I also can't be "one of multiple winners" (such as if multiple people score in Chip Shot Challenge), but draws are OK because by definition they are not wins (and they don't award coins).
*I AM allowed to get 2nd place in Battle minigames, because 2nd place is merely placing as opposed to winning. (This makes this challenge much more interesting- it's sometimes tricky to get 2nd without accidentally getting 1st instead.)
-I am allowed to get items form Item minigames, because Item minigames are not competitive and result in success (Got Item!) or failure (Miss!) rather than a win or loss. (Disallowing items from Item minigames would be cruel and probably make the challenge too difficult.)
-I am allowed to make full use of Chance Time because Chance Time is not a minigame.
- In the event of a coin minigame (yellow text on the standard minigame roulette), I must let the game play out without making any inputs. Whatever coins I get, I get, but I'm not allowed to influence the outcome. This rule is in place as a compromise between the spirit of the challenge and a potential way to exploit it.
-I may not quit out of the match and load back in to restart the turn. (Allowing this would make the challenge trivial and uninteresting.)
- If I win a minigame despite my best efforts, I must reset the board from the beginning and start over from Turn 1. *No reloading*. (These are the "deaths" referred to in the count in the upper left corner; losses refer to me conceding the board intentionally or losing at the end.)
