Pokémon Party mini came bundled with the console in Europe. It is a small compilation of mini-games and utilities that showcases the motion sensor and the rumble feature. Up to six players can compete by infrared. Here are its events, based on Serebii.
The events
| Event | Players | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Pikachu’s Rocket Start | 1 | A reflex test: when Elekid raises its arm, you have to make Pikachu take off first, by pressing a button or shaking the console. Three rounds, against Rattata, Eevee and then another Pikachu. A false start and you have to begin again. |
| Slowking’s Judge | 1 | Slowking umpires a tennis match: A if the ball is in, B if it’s out. The game ends at the first mistake, or if you hesitate too long. |
| Chansey’s Dribble | 1 | Chansey pushes a ball along a course, from left to right. If it gets ahead of the ball, it has to go back behind it and loses its momentum. |
| Bellossom’s Dance | 1 | When the console vibrates, the two dancing Bellossom make a move that you have to copy with the pad, or by shaking to jump. Three levels, faster and faster. |
| Hitmonchan’s Boxing | 1 | Shaking the console makes Hitmonchan punch a Machop, but you have to stop when the screen tells you to, or you’ll lose points. |
| Sneasel’s Fake Out | 2 | An infrared duel with Sneasel: the attacker dribbles left or right, the defender tries to guess. A quick move can fool your opponent. |
| Battlefield | 2 to 6 | A tournament chaining the events together, over 1, 3 or all rounds, lasting 3 to 15 minutes. Every player must have the game. |
| Celebi’s Clock | — | A clock animated by Celebi, along with a stopwatch. |
