Spike Strike is a Mid-boss Battle mini-game. In "Solo" mode, it appears in Magma Mine at the mid-boss fort. In "Party" Mode, the minigame always appears at the mid-boss fort in Magma Mine and has a 50% chance to appear at the other boards' mid-boss forts. Its titular boss is an oversized Gabon named Spike.
Intro
Spike drops down onto a small hill poking above the magma with four chutes dropping down, his entrance shaking the ground a bit. He then spits out four Spiked Balls, one at each chute.
Gameplay
In this game, Spike spits out the spike balls; then he stomps to reveal the suggestion between the hammer and the stick. Each of them worth differently:
- Golden Hammer is worth +3 points.
- Normal Hammer is worth +1 point.
- A Stick is worthless, taking away -1 point.
Picking nothing will also cause you to lose a point. During the first round, there will be enough hammers for everyone, with one being a golden hammer. Afterwards, the number drops.
Rage
When Spike rages, he stomps really hard and the lava flows to shorten your time to select an object.
Ending
Spike falls onto his back and poofs.
Controls
