I think there should be mini games. You would earn prizes and crowns and there would be a prize wheel that might get you an extra-rare item!
Mini Games
There would be prizes like lockboxes, equipment, mini mist tanks, and other stuff.
The prizes in the prize wheel would be like prizes in the prize wheel in the clockworks.
It would either cost crowns or energy to play. (You choose)
(Someone named Luguiru posted some examples of mini games.)
My point was you are supposed to come up with ideas of what the minigame is and how it works. Obviously there are rewards other than entertainment.
If equipment, crates/boxes and free energy is on the reward list it better be difficult. Difficult enough to make two Pulsar spammers against one without a gun look like a cake walk. On a frosting skate rink. On your birthday.
I thought of a mini game!!
It would be called Survival.
There would be monsters that keep on spawning.There would be a small amount of health power-ups.You would have to keep fighting monsters and survive as long as you can, and the player who survives the longest wins the most prizes!!
I'll think of more mini games soon!
Copying people is not coshier.
Not that the above linked thread is the first to suggest a survival mode.
Everyone go play Puzzle Pirates. Its a game full of minigames by OOO.
I think there should be mini games in Spiral Knights that are easier than lockdown and blast network that still give you good stuff.
I did not copy.
Lock Down and blast network are pretty tough on newbies. They should have mini games like races where you go head-to-head with others. Or mini jousts where you continuously press "a" than "d" to gain speed. And things like "bottle shoot" (self-explanatory) or something easy like that.
But some people just need time to play games that aren't over done.
I'd actually really like some sort of survival arena. I am not brave enough for Lockdown or Blast Network :/
I thought of another mini game!!
It would be called "Camp Defense"
It would be a game where you have to defend a camp that found a source of energy other than the core.
You would have to protect the camp as long as you can.
When too many monsters successfully get through and break the shield, the campers would run away and it would be game over.
You would be in a team of about 10 players and if you die, you would choose to either revive in a revival booth by either:
Using energy to revive immediately,
or
Waiting about 10 or 20 seconds.
I will think of other mini games soon!
10 players?
You do realize that the upper limit is 4, right?
It would be called turret defense. Since a lot of Pery's ideas are survival, this one is just blow em' up. You and 3 others arm turrets and Destroy groups of monsters trying to invade Haven. You'd shoot power-ups. There could also be a versus mode where you go against other teams. Maybe the turrets would be mobile like turrets...
snipe wrangler: 2 teams must go around catching snipes and putting them into their pen, have different color or size snipes worth ( small/white be 1 point....large/ purple be 10 points something like that) have team with most snipes win. oh and have fake snipe or a imposter snipe (snipe that looks like impostocube or look like a stuffy animal) that can be thrown into the opposing teams pen so they lose points.
Good Job! We need more mini game ideas. Speaking of which, I thought of a mini game!
It would be called "Dodge!".
You and 5 other team members would try to shoot and throw pots at the opposing team.
There would be many pots. 2/4 of the pots would be normal, 1/4 of the pots would cause FIRE, and 1/4 would cause OIL SLICKS.
There would be turrets in the corners that would rotate and defeat opponents with one shot.
You would score points by defeating people. If you get defeated, you would either wait or pay energy to revive in a revival booth.
All the players would have health bars.
Whichever team has the most point at the end would get the most and rarest prizes!
I'll think of other mini games soon!

I've seen PROTOs. Protos own in BN. Just because you fail at that certain game, doesn't mean Newbies have a crappy time on it.
Ever played Bomberman?
Can there a least be a new King Krogmo's Coliseum game? Maybe it would be the mini game I posted on #16! Lockdown and Blast Network are not my strengths!:(
But, LD isn't my strength.
BN is. I found vids to increase my skill.
The mining cap looked really cute on the Knights! Why not a mining mini game? It seems to fit in perfectly with the story of underground exploration that the game already has. You, along with up to three other knights will keep digging in to get to the "core" which contains the prize. All players will start at the surface of the game and make their way down by digging straight down, other things in the ground will get in your way, such as monsters, bombs, pits, etc. Dig Dug comes to mind when I think of a digging mini game. It's ironic, because Blast Network nearly a carbon copy of Bomberman, but this mini game could have a little of Spiral Knights flair!
The prize at the bottom would be randomized, like Krogmo Coins (of course), Crowns, A piece of equipment, etc.
Of course, there would be different tiers with higher difficulty and better goodies to win.
What do you think forum?
A mining minigame sounds superb to be honest, it really does fit with the lore of the world, Dig Dug was a fine old game and I'd be happy to see it implimented in Spiral Knights, giving it's own "feel".
In my opinion, SK needs a good set of minigames, it would help give the game variety rather than the constant dungeon crawling, currently the only differant thing the game gives us is Bomberma- I uh mean Blast Network, Sure there's Lockdown but thats just the regular game with you fighting guys wearing Coats and Flourishers, but the new maps were nice, thanks OOO.
We need something to do when we have no mist, but still advance our characters in a entertaining sense...But who's to say future minigames won't require crowns and/or energy to access?
Nice mini game idea!
I think the mini games should cost crowns like the coliseum games.
I also think they should add more monster simulations to the Advanced Training Hall, like Gun Puppies, Wolvers, Trojans, and others.
for training hall dodge the missle have a path of missle launchers that fire off in a pattern so people can learn timing for roams, in the words of a DBZ character "DODGE"
I think the mini games should be free if you win and check out Smashasourus Wrecks @ http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/56757 (some of those are pretty stupid because it was my very first thread). He could be like an alpha wolver.
If they add that mining mini game, they should let knights use weapons instead of shovels so knights could fight monsters that would get in their way.
I've seen so many ideas on this subject which only inspires me to post this suggestion.
Mini games * Nods* , Errr.. , but more importantly there should be specific areas that would have a mini game or two.
Advanced Training Hall- That one area to the left where you get to practice your sharpshooting skills, Well why not make that a mini game?, like a shooting gallery, complete with a list of the top 10 players based on accuracy, time & number of shots, Prizes would vary, Imagination would make this great.
The bazaar - In this area next to punch and vize would be another, Hmm... let's see., Ah yes, a sort of betting game,which would randomize the prizes, anything from lock boxes even accessories, again that would be totally up to 3 rings discretion.
The arcade to the right /that dead space This would be another one for now, and this would pump some life into the arcade once again, Hmmm. ...let's see,,, GOT IT- A gladiator arena, we already have lock down, why not an arena that is strictly 1 player vs. 1 player?. just and idea., Again complete with a list of the top 10 or even 20, and prizes here are also based on the number or rounds you can endure.
Well that's it for now. My caffeine has ran out. xD
you guys need to put more though into these ideas. You have outlines, but not enough details. Also, remember this is not mario party. If you want minigames you can go play that. Or puzzle pirates. OOO made puzzle pirates.
@Tech-Ally no betting games. I know this would be so weird but there are betting addicts.
Say one is playing the spiral knight betting game.
he runs out of money.
so he buys energy and then sells it for crowns.
then he goes overtime on his credit card and is in [excrement]loads of debt.
then he sells all of his stuff in real life to pay off his credit card. now he is homeless
all because of spiral knights.
then he becomes a terrorist.
then he destroys the OOO/Sega secret moon base.
Now he is dead, because one of his explosive sticky charges stuck to him and it detonated.
All because of spiral knights.
Now now my dear boy, we could change that to say,
Errrr... * sips coffee*, ................. Ah! Got it!
Like a "gremlin-whack-amole" type game, or even some sort of race through a maze,
that is timed, and based on how fast you finish, your prize is based accordingly,
Mind you that the maze changes every time. Just some ideas. xD
Heck, even something called "Knights of cradle Vs. the Gremlins" , or something, whereas it's themed like this-------->' It's up to you to break thru, these super-industrious gremlins have launched an attack to block and surround the rescue camp, your mission, is to break as much of these barriers as possible, Upon your success, Lt. Feron will greet you with some gratification." there it's not a mini game, but something more tied into the storyline itself, Hence this should entice more players.
A gladiator arena would be great!
It would be a little hard for some knights, though.
Or instead of just a 1 on 1 gladiator arena, why not a "survival" arena?
For instance- e.g ---------> One of the Villains has challenged you, specifically who, well that's up to 3 rings, anyways, Round 1, for instance you have scores of toy soldiers coming at you, upon defeating them, the villain would say something like " Curse you.. this ends now!", Round 2 would be then something else, etc. , etc., the theme here is that the villain has every single resource available at his disposal, which would go all the way to 40 Rounds.
Of course every round the complexity and the difficulty would change as well. ^_^
What about a place where the mini games are?
I think it should be a mini game elevator in that empty space in the arcade!
Where do you think the mini games should be?
-Pery
My dear boy , would you be so kind to re-read my post # 27 ^_^. ^

Thank you, you are most kind Sir.
Meh, I just want little puzzles that you would have to do in the clockworks in order to go on. The bigest puzzle I've seen in SK: That one level where all the gates have to be down to move on. :P
That's a nice idea!
OOO,are you reading this forum?
Come on, I'm all ears!
@Lugiru: Technically, I was the first one suggest a survival mini out of the ones you showed(check date)(of course there are probably reeealy old ones out there too..)
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/29764
And yes this game needs more minigames because if an entry fee (crowns) is applied, these could become good crown sinks. PvE games, or games that are derp and don't involve fighting are nice because it will not be based on if you have a snarby blade and Polaris or not.
@Spookydemi: when I think of that game I see Minecraft (3D, not 2D), and because of that I could not bring myself to play the game since digging straight down does not feel...right...
I would like to elaborate on the Defense mini game. It would have 4 knights defending with some noob AI knights helping. You have to survive each wave (there'd be like 10) to win. Each wave would be different so there would be an equipment change place. Each wave would have about 20-200 monsters depending on what tier and what wave. Before each wave at the top it would show what monsters there are and how many. Example: Beast, Ice, 20 wolvers, 15 alpha blah blah. If you beat all 10 waves you win whatever prize depends on tier and ect. To lose you would 1. All die 2. Let them pass defenses 3. Everyone leaves.
That's my idea. I would love feedback this could be a cool mini game
That's a great idea for a defense game!
I think I'm glad that Luguiru didn't link my thread here.
What I absolutely think that he's getting ideas from everyone else and made to himself to contribute everything.
Don't get me wrong being a party pooper, but I advice that ye should bring out some of yer ideas on yer brain as well.
Here are some examples.
"You get prizes and stuff for doing stuff."
We want to know what that stuff is. What are we supposed to do, read your mind? That was outlawed years ago.
