On the Spot is a single-player minigame found in Mario Party Advance. Its name is a pun on an idiom that means "immediately" or "at the scene of an action or event."
Introduction[edit]
A line of Whomps descends from above. The first one leaps up and lands, its back facing the player.
Gameplay[edit]
The player has to follow the Whomp's directions and poke its back in the right order in order to earn points within the time limit. As the player progresses, the number of pokes required increases, and the minigame gets faster. If the player accidentally pokes the wrong side of the Whomp's back, they lose five seconds as the Whomp attempts to tell the player where to poke the spots correctly again.
In the Shroom City mode, the player must poke five Whomps correctly in 30 seconds to win. In Mini-Game Attack, the player has only 15 seconds to poke five Whomps correctly. In Play Land, the player must poke as many Whomps as possible within 30 seconds; additionally, each Whomp cleared adds time to the timer depending on the number of pokes.
Controls[edit]
