Mini-Games are found primarily in Metroid Prime Pinball. They have a small challenge of varying difficulties rewarding either a Special or an Artifact. A Mini-Game also appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on board the G.F.S. Olympus, which involves "juggling" a pair of Training Drones by shooting them. Managing to shoot them ten times earns Samus a Gold Credit, and 20 times a Friend Voucher.
