Mini-game

  

The Oriental Scroll mini-game in Oriental Grove.

Mini-games are small quests that Alice must accomplish in order to continue her journey in Wonderland. Various kinds of mini-games are available in several areas and the player can choose to skip them. Some mini-games, however, must be played and finished to further explore the area.

Calligraphy scroll

Calligraphy scrolls are scrolls found in Oriental Grove with Japanese or Chinese characters on them. Several of these characters will light up ablaze and will kill Alice if she does not dodge them. The scrolls move against Alice's direction to hinder her steady movement.

Chess board challenge

The chess board.

Chess board challenges are mini-games unlocked when Alice arrives in Queensland. The player must get the Alice bust across the chess board and on the eight-pointed star under twelve moves while avoiding Red Knights.

As the player moves the bust, another Red chess piece also moves parallel to the player's. Should the bust or the other chess piece is attacked, the game is over and the player may choose to repeat the challenge or skip it.

Gigantic

Gigantic Alice.

Main article: Gigantic

Gigantic Alice is unlocked after eating the Eat Me cake in Majestic Maze. Shortly after finishing the Executioner off, Alice makes her way to Dark of Heartness to find the Queen of Hearts. The player must kill all the Card Guards to pass through flesh walls and stomp on blue hearts to destroy the Queen's tentacles.

Alice can only stomp or swipe and kick obstacles and enemies during this mini-game as she is unable to use her weapons and her jumping, dodging, and floating abilities to evade incoming attacks or enemies.

Hide and seek

Alice must traverse the area near the Octopus's residence and smash large bottles containing a burgundy liquid until she finds the bottles which conceal him.

HMS Gryphon

Beginning of the mini-game.

Alice and Mock Turtle must use the HMS Gryphon to escape the Shipwreck Sharks that threaten to devour them both. She mans the ship which can fire cannonballs and drop explosives. The player only has ten lives throughout the mini-game and if it reaches to zero, the ship will explode and the mini-game will repeat from the start.

Off With Her Head

Starting point of each level.

Off With Her Head is only seen during the Dollhouse chapter and in certain Radula Rooms. After cranking a Jack in the box, a doll's head springs forth from the box and initiates a long puzzle where the player must guide a doll's head along a series of challenges and obstacles including cannons, cliffs, and other means of obstruction.

Trivia

• The slides in the Vale of Tears and Hatter's Domain are the only "safe" slides for Alice. The rest of the slides in the other domains have several Ruin sludge that will decrease Alice's health if she slides on it.
• The Off With Her Head mini-game begins with a flamingo hitting the doll head. This may be a reference to the first Alice novel, in which flamingos are used a croquet mallets.
