The Booster Hill Minigame is a repeatable minigame on Booster Hill where Mario attempts to catch Booster or beetles while avoiding the Snifits and barrels.
There are two versions of this minigame: one during the story where the goal is to touch Booster to gain Flower Points, and one that can be done after purchasing a Beetle Box in Seaside Town.
Additionally, there is a third version that has no Snifits, Booster, or beetles, but does have Galaxy Coins to be collected while avoiding barrels. Once 100 Galaxy Coins have been collected in this way, however, no more will appear. It does not matter how many appear or are missed, simply how many are collected.
Rewards[]
- 1 Flower Point per time Booster is caught
- 1 Frog Coin per "small" male beetle
- 5 Frog Coins per "large" female beetle
- 20 Galaxy Coins per golden beetle
Lose Conditions[]
None
Strategy[]
Time your jumps to bounce off the barrels or Snifits and reach Booster or the beetle. Note that exactly one golden beetle spawns per run.
As the Snifits have a slightly bigger hitbox than the barrels, it is possible to line up in such a way that Mario can run past the barrels while still jumping on the Snifits.
In hard mode, the barrels move significantly faster and are no longer a good way to jump forward.
