Easter Egg in Title Screen of Mario Party 9

[Lennon Norris]

I recently got Mario Party 9 on Nintendo Wii. The game is awesome and I love to compete in it with my best friend. Yesterday my friend told me that he found 2 Easter eggs in the game. I asked him where they are but he told me to find them by myself. Has anybody else found the Easter eggs in Mario Part 9? Can you share details about how to get them?

On the title screen of Mario Party, you can see the stars going in upward direction with photos of characters in it. If you shake the Wii remote in wavy format, the stars start moving up faster. The faster you move the remote, the faster will the starts move up. If you watch closely, I know at the speed you will be shaking the remote, observing the stars closely will be difficult but the characters in the stars actually cheer you. The move when you achieve a speed at your movements. At one point, the screen gets clustered with the stars. I had to stop as my hand started aching.

Another secret about the Title screen is that after you defeat Bowser Jr and Bowser, Unlock Kamek and Shy Guy, and play DK and Diddy Kong's Minigames, they will appear in stars on the Title screen too. If you see the new copy, they won’t be seen on the Title screen. Thanks to the good music, I always stop at the Title screen just to listen the music. That’s when I noticed it.

Another easter egg/ reference I noticed is that the yellow balls in castle clearout (an extras minigame) have triforces of courage on them ( Zelda reference, in case you didn't know!)
