Sweet Sleuth

Sweet Sleuth is a 4-player and duel minigame coming from Mario Party DS. In this minigame, the players have to pick and choose from a large dish selection the correct candy the Shy Guy asks for.

Setting
The minigame appears to take place within a candy shop, with vending machines and sweet jars visible on the sides of the background. As the characters are shrunk from the story events of the game, they can run across the conveyor belts and deliver the candies in person to the Shy Guy customer - since the characters are shrunk, from their perspective he seems to look massive.

Gameplay
The goal of the game is to deliver as many correct candies to the Shy Guy as possible, up to 10 within the set time limit. The Shy Guy will order a specific kind of candy on the top screen, and the player's job is to search and pick the exact candy from the large selection of sweets on the dish in the lower screen.

Use the stylus to pick a candy, then drag it to the conveyor and let go. There are three different designs of candy wrappings present - blue polka dots, yellow stars and pink stripings. On top of that though, there are different shapes of candies, ranging from ellipses, circles, rectangles and even a half-candy.

As a result the same-coloured candies can look very similar, especially the elliptical and circular shapes which are difficult to distinguish. Pay close attention to the shape of the candy the Shy Guy is asking for, and search for it in the lower screen.

Trivia

 * The minigame's title is seemingly based off "sweet tooth", a term that refers to someone who has a strong appetite for sweets and sugary foods.
