Minigame

All you want to know about Minigame

In Fantastic Dizzy, the player has to complete a sliding puzzle to get an extra life.

A minigame (also spelled mini-game or mini game), sometimes called a subgame, is a short video game often contained within another video game. A minigame is always smaller or more simplistic than the game in which it is contained. Minigames are sometimes also offered separately for free to promote the main game.

Minigames occur either as gameplay features or as Easter eggs. In the latter case, they are often called "secret games". In the former case, the successful completion of such minigames may or may not be required to finish the encompassing game.

Minigame compilations

Some games, such as the WarioWare series, some Cinemaware titles like Defender of the Crown, or David Whittaker's Lazy Jones, are made up of many minigames strung together into one video game. Some similar games, such as the Mario Party series, are considered party games, specifically developed for multiplayer. In party games, minigames usually involve performing an activity faster or collecting more of a specified item than other players to win.
