Minigames are small games in Crystal Story II. In total there are five types of minigames: Defense games, Fishing, Snowboard Extreme, Mercenary Defense, and Hackpicker.
Defense[]
This minigame borrows its idea from Popgames' "Bejeweled" in which the player has to match three or more gems on a table filled with different colored gems. Once three or more gems have been aligned, the gems are crushed, allowing new gems to enter the table, and D will slash at the enemies closest to him depending on the number of alignments. In Crystal Story II, the player must destroy gems in order to damage and kill a monster king as he sends his minions towards you. There is a button at the bottom right which allows the player to shuffle the gems, although it has a long reload time. The minigame ends when either the enemy's health bar is depleted, or one of his minions reaches you. There is no penalty for losing the mini-game. Because they are part of quests, each defense can only be played twice. (Defense 1 and Defense 2 quests.)

Playing Hackpicker in the Barrens
You have to play this game to open locked treasure chests. Your goal is to make the lina.bot reach the Chest icon in the level.
Click on the arrows to swap two tiles. When the Lina.bot crashes into a barrier ("Error: lina.bot crashed!"), hits an Earth Slime or Friendly wisp ("Error: lina.bot deleted!"), or goes on the same space & tile four times ("Error: lina.bot corrupted!"), you have to start again, but there is no limit to the number of tries and no penalty for losing. Earth Slimes travel on arrows regardless of their direction and can change arrow directions, while Friendly Wisps travel anywhere without an arrow. There are portals which teleport the Lina.bot based on her direction, and there are also red barriers which require the button labeled "On" to be turned "Off".
Lina is not necessary to be in the team while playing this.
For the loot received in each locked chest, see Locked Chest.
