1. I thought you got Dizzy Dinghies by Playing every minigame once.....
2. Well, Bob, beat the hard mode of Mini-Game Coaster to unlock the battle games... Here are a few surprises:
A. Hot Rope Jump: You have to jump 50 times to pass. At one point (about 25-30 jumps) the rope spins so fast that if you hold the B (or was it A?, I can't remember, it's been so long...) button as you jump, you won't land in time to jump again. Simply tap the B (A?) button. Also, The CPU players WILL all mess up. Don't be distracted (It's hard, I know).
B: Sneak 'N' Snore: This is another hard one. The CPU has the ability to sprint to the button and duck in the barrel in time (most of the time). If you go any slower than sprinting, the CPU will get there before you. You have 2 options:
(1. Sprint and try to beat the CPU, or
2. Hope that all 3 of the opponents get eaten. I used the 2nd one.)
Both are very hard. Good Luck!
C: The final battle: This is essentally a 3 vs. 1 version of Shell Shocked. The best plan is to duck behind a pipe and pop out to shoot the one closest to you, then duck back again. After destroying the 1st opponent, focus on another one. After you clear out 2 of the opponents, the one that started farthest from where you are should be the only one left. Come out and battle him one on one. If you lose, you don't lose a life, so you get infitite tries.
After winning, you can buy the Battle games. After buying the Battle games, You get 1 more game called Driver's Ed, which requires you to drive one of those balloon bumper cars around an obstacle course of cones. It takes some getting used to.....
Hope that cleared up some stuff. Good Luck!
