List of Contents
Hosted by Emcee Shy Guy, the object of this Shy Guys Finish Last game show minigame is to score 100 points, by completing challenges, chosen randomly, from 4 categories.
Each category has Difficulty Levels 1, 2, and 3, worth 10, 30, and 50 points, respectively.
The winning prize of the Shy Guys Finish Last game show is an invitation to the Spring of Rainbows hotspring, at Shangri-Spa. After earning 100 points, you may opt to play Sudden Death or skip it and go straight to the Spring of Rainbows. Winning Sudden Death rewards you with Collectible Treasure. Losing Sudden death is Game Over.
The game show's Ring Scramble category tests your ring control and visual memory, by making you solve a ring-based image puzzle within a certain time-limit. The puzzles get harder to solve as the category's level increases.

The game show's Race 'n' Place category tests your eyesight and memory by requiring you to remember the places of every runner at the end of a race.
After the race, you are taken to a ring puzzle with random characters in the rings and a line of rings with a number or a set of numbers from 1-4. You must spin and slide the rings to place the right characters (runners) on top of their corresponding places (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th). The numbers stay in place as the characters are moved.

The game show's Bath Math category tests your memory and your math skills.
The memory portion of Bath Math starts with Goombas going in and out of a hot spring (the hot spring starts with zero Goombas inside). Your job is to remember how many Goombas are in the hot spring at the end of the sequence. At the 3rd Difficulty Level, you will only be able to see and keep track of the Goombas going in and out, as steam completely covers your view of the hot spring.
The math portion of Bath Math takes you to a ring puzzle with numbers, an addition symbol (+), and a subtraction symbol (-) in the rings. You have a certain number of seconds to spin and slide the rings to create an equation that equals to the number of Goombas in the hot spring, at the end of the memory portion.

In Shy Guys Finish Last Sudden Death, you have to determine the missing sudden death lyric in a song that you have heard while progressing through the story.
Emcee Shy Guy plays the song with lyrics, then presents you with 4 sudden death lyric choices, labeled A, B, C, and D. You have 60 seconds to choose the correct song lyric, by using arrows to guide Olivia to the lyric's corresponding letter in the center of a ring puzzle (similar to Boss Battles).

The letters are buttons connected to a cannon, in which Mario has been placed. Choosing the wrong lyric results to sudden death, which shoots Mario out of the cannon and it's game over.
Choosing the correct lyric in Sudden Death round will reward you a Collectible Treasure (your first sudden death win rewards you with Collectible Treasure No. 108: Sudden Death Cannon). You get a new prize each time you win Sudden Death.

On level 3 I found it easier to watch the boxes that didn’t have the ninjis as there were 4 ninijis and only 2 other minions.
