Dust Buddies (Mario Party DS)

[Maria]

Dust Buddies is a 4-Player and Duel minigame where four competitors walking down a hallway when a vacuum cleaner comes. Players must run away from the vacuum cleaner in the hallway to avoid getting sucked up, dodging obstacles, such as fluffs and buttons, along the way. What obstacles are located in a given location and how many there are change in each game. If the player is on a ribbon or a photo negative, they are most likely going to get sucked up faster. If the player is on a dust bunny, they will slow down. If the player hits a button, they will fall down. The ball is just a regular obstacle. However, if it hits the vacuum cleaner, it will rebound, and will make those hit fall. Either the players who cross the finish line or the last player standing are the winners.

I love this Mini-Game also, it's fun to play with friends, I just don't like getting hit by buttons though, that the tricky part...but other than that I love this Mini-Game for sure.
And do any of you love it as well?

I've got to say that this is my favorite minigame on Mario Party DS. It was always a surprise to see if my friends and I would make it or get sucked up. I thought it was a very great minigame.

This was actually a pretty cool and somewhat intense  game.

This. I usually play this mini-game in Mini-Game Mode's sub modes there for easy wins and points.

This is my favourtie mini-game! I love getting hit by the marble and seeing if I get sucked up. I also enjoy playing this with friends to see if we can make it till the end.

Mini-game is really fun! Never know what is going to happen. I can't always guarantee I'll win this one.

 

[MarioComix]

I love this one! The only thing I don't like is that I usually don't make it to the end.  :'(

I hate awkward ball rebounds mostly. They usually break my flow and cause me to lose when going up against Expert cpus.
Otherwise, Dust Buddies is definitely one of the better 4P minigames. It's not overly repetitive and kind of funny too. However, how did everyone survive the vacuuming and end up on the top of drawers (at the "______ Wins" screen)? =P

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Oh yeah, I hated the balls, they can't be vacuumed. And I don't know. Maybe there's a secret elevator in the drawer or behind it.

This minigame was one of my favorite, when I play MPDS I always make sure that I play this minigame.

This game was fun. I would sometimes lose at the end because you never know which direction the ball will go at the end until the vacuum sucks it up. Plus, this game reminds me of Granite Getaway from Mario Party 6.

 

[Salamence1011]

one of the only good minigames on the game i have to say though that one was hard even on easy

 

[Cloudpaw864]

It's a good game if you are good at it. I love this mini game. I have only lost a couple times, I think.

 

[chaosshadow123]

One of my favorite mini-games on the entire game

 

[Shaby]

One of my faves minigames too! =D
It's very cool when you have to run away from something that wants to get YOU!

 

[Yoshi1]

One of my favourite minigames from DS. It's quite challenging too.

As an aside, who finds jumping on someone who's on a long rug near a ball the cheapest way to knock em out? =P

A CPU on Expert did that to me once =P

That is cheap. But I known that for a while, it helps a lot.

I basically hate those balls, you can't tell which direction they'll bounce off.

HJ: you mentioned this already =P

VSM: Dang, oh well.

 

[SpiderStaryu]

I hate the stupid spheres, when they hit the vacuum it always hits me.

This was a very fun mini-game. Again, the stage layout is too varied to get constant wins even with easy cpu's.

Edit: Rank up!  :-D
