After each challenge, the contestant can either take their winnings and go home, or risk it all on the next challenge.
Thankfully, they have three "lives", so the first failure won't doom them.
Complete 10 challenges, and they leave with one million dollars.
Fail, and they go home with the last milestone amount reached.
The DS version features 36 challenges, using the controls, stylus, and microphone.
While you can play through a regular show, (ten episodes are included) you can also practice challenges, (only ones you've seen already) or go through a Time Trial to beat your score on one of three difficulty levels.
The only milestone included is at $50,000. (Later seasons of the show added milestones at $1,000, $250,000, and $500,000.) You can use the winnings to purchase new outfits for your character.
A 2-player multiplayer mode is also included.
Each player selects 5 challenges; the first player to complete each challenge wins the challenge.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Minute to Win It for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Minute to Win It to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2010.
