Flip the Chimp is a 4-Player and Duel minigame in Mario Party 8.

Overview

The minigame opens with a brief sequence of a coconut falling and hitting a mechanical Ukiki climbing a tree.

During gameplay, coconuts fall from either the left or the right side of the tree as the Ukiki climbs automatically. Players can have their Ukikis dodge incoming coconuts by shaking the Wii Remote to flip them, though doing so causes the Ukiki to stop climbing briefly. If a coconut hits a Ukiki, it slides down, costing that player some time. The player whose Ukiki reaches the finish line marked by a red pennant banner first wins.

Multiple players can win the minigame, and even a tie can occur in the Duel variant if both Ukikis reach the finish line at the same time. In both versions, if none of the Ukikis make it to the end within five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.
