** ''VideoGame/MarioParty4'': During the minigame Tree Stomp, Ukikis will eat bananas and throw the peels into the scene where the solo character tries to dodge the spiky belts of the other three characters' wooden robots. If the solo player slips due to the peel, they'll lose balance and be in danger of being touched by the rivals' spikes. However, if a robot from the trio slips, then ''it'' will lose balance and move rapidly (which, depending on the case, may or may not be a good thing for the solo player). Either way, it's a difficult minigame for the solo player, as they'd have to survive for 45 seconds against the three rivals ''and'' the Ukikis.
