Super simple super quick minigames that aren't just RNG

[Devsman]

By RNG, I mean at a system level. For example, in rock paper scissors, you can get psychological with it but at a system level, you don't actually have enough information in the game state to make a decision. I hope that makes sense.

Race the Sun

Not sure what you mean by mini games but...

You race on a map.
The map is RNG changed daily.
There are daily leader boards.
The races are fast.. times don't get that high

I am thinking the fast runs make it a mini game? IDK

routes through map are up to you... just don't hit stuff

Anything from Wario Ware.

Minigame means it's not the primary form of gameplay. Like some games have pool tables or game boards in the inns/bars that you can play there for kicks and giggles and then get back to saving the world or whatever. Or sometimes in the middle of a dungeon the perspective switches and you're playing a Pac-Man-like experience. Of course, they don't all have to be existing games reskinned.

Right OK like lock picking in skyrim or oblivion, gotcha

Hey, that reminds me of a quirky autobattler from the GBA days. It was a Mega Man Battle Network spinoff. It was really neat for a while but in practice, I ended up just setting down the system and doing something else for a minute or so.

Well a classic but boring one is the input sequence race, where you have a sequence of button presses and like three seconds to enter it or you fail. Super short, super simple, no explanation needed.
