Like the first Stadium, Pokémon Stadium 2 offers mini-games to play alone against the computer or with up to four players. There are twelve new games, a quiz and a championship mode, with the option of using your own Pokémon, Shiny ones included. Here is the list.
The twelve mini-games
| Mini-game | Pokémon | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Gutsy Golbat | Golbat | A race through a dark cave, collecting hearts and pushing opponents into Magnemite. |
| Topsy-Turvy | Hitmontop | Knock five opponents out of the ring with Rapid Spin. |
| Clear Cut Challenge | Scyther, Pinsir, Scizor | Cut a log as close as possible to the marked line. |
| Furret’s Frolic | Furret, Girafarig | Push a Poké Ball into the opposing goal within 60 seconds. |
| Barrier Ball | Mr. Mime | Defend your goal with a barrier, in the style of a paddle game. |
| Pichu’s Power Plant | Pichu, Pikachu | Aim for the active electrode and charge up as fast as you can. |
| Rampage Rollout | Donphan | A multi-lap race, with dirt twisters to slow the others down. |
| Streaming Stampede | Cleffa, Igglybuff | Count one specific Pokémon among those parading past. |
| Tumbling Togepi | Togepi, Omanyte | An obstacle course with speed-boost arrows and pesky Diglett. |
| Delibird’s Delivery | Delibird | Pick up presents in a factory and drop them off at the top, five at a time. |
| Eager Eevee | Eevee | Be first to the fruit when Aipom lifts the dish; watch out for the Pineco. |
| Egg Emergency | Chansey | Catch a hundred falling Eggs while dodging the Voltorb. |
Some Pokémon, such as Pikachu in Pichu’s Power Plant or Omanyte in Tumbling Togepi, can only be played with a Game Boy cartridge that contains them.
The quiz and the championship
The quiz asks questions about the Pokémon universe against the clock, either solo to beat your record or with several players. Championship mode chains the mini-games together until one player reaches the set number of wins.
Coins for the Casino
With a Game Boy cartridge, the mini-games let you win coins to use at the Casino in the Game Boy games, and make your Pokémon happier by playing with them.
