Pokémon Stadium series mini-games

In and in Pokémon Stadium 2, there are several mini-games that players may compete in. All mini-games are played with four players, which may be any combination of humans and computer-controlled (COM) players. Games may be played individually or in a "Who's The Champion?" competition which continues until a player achieves a predetermined number of wins.

There are no mini-games in the Japanese.

In Pokémon Stadium
In Pokémon Stadium, mini-games are found in an area called Kids Club. This park houses nine different mini-games. Computer (COM) players may initially be assigned Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty levels. The secret Hyper difficulty can be unlocked by winning a "Who's The Champion?" match on Hard.

In Pokémon Stadium 2
In Pokémon Stadium 2, there are a total of twelve mini-games with four gameplay modes.

Gameplay modes

 * Play a Mini-Game: Allows players to choose among the mini-games, for practice or for fun.
 * Mini-Game Champion: Players compete in mini-games to earn coins. Once a player has earned a predetermined number of coins, they are the winner. Players take turns choosing which mini-game to play. On each turn, a dice roll determines how many coins will be won by the player who wins that particular mini-game. Occasionally, dice rolls will have other effects, such as the leader having to give away their coins to other players if they lose, or coins being awarded to everyone but the leader if the leader does not win. If a Game Boy Game Pak is attached via the Transfer Pak, coins won will be transferred to that game's Coin Case.
 * 1P Quiz: A one-player game which tests how many Pokémon questions can be answered in 100 seconds.
 * Quiz for All: Same game play as the 1P Quiz, except with four players competing to answer the fastest. The first person to get the question right earns a point, and the first player to earn ten points is the winner.
