Slow G (Spacehopping in the British English version) is a General minigame from Mario Party: Island Tour.

Overview[edit]

In this minigame, the players must jump from platform to platform to get to the finish line above the moon. The players are affected by the gravity so that they jump higher and fall slower than they would normally. Pressing the A Button multiple times results in longer airtime. The first player to reach the finish wins.

This minigame also appears in Time Attack as the third minigame. The bonus objective is completed by not using the same platform twice.

Controls[edit]

  • Circle Pad – Move
  • A Button – Jump

In-game text[edit]

  • Normal rules (American English)"Jump up from the platform to reach the goal as quickly as possible."
  • Normal rules (British English)/Time Attack rules"Jump up from platform to platform to reach the goal as quickly as possible."

Naming[edit]

The American English name "Slow G" is a pun on "low G", which is short for "low gravity".
