In Final Fantasy IX the first game which a player will encounter will be none other than the Jump Rope Mini Game which makes it's first apperance towards the beginning of the game. Once you have control of Vivi in Alexandria in the very beginning of the game, head through the town until you make your way across the large area which has the Ticket Booth in the center. Afterwards, head to the upper-left hand side and you should see a few little girls jumping rope. Talk to them and Vivi will have the chance to jump rope in their place!
In order to go through with the mini game, you must press the "X" button everytime the "!" sign appears up above his head. Doing so will make him jump. However, after so many jumps the speed will get faster, so stay alert! The little girls, though, will give some warnings when it does so.
Even though this mini game is at first only accessable at the beginning with Vivi, on disc 3 when in Alexandria it can be played again as well as towards the end of the game when you have the airship. During that time it can be played with either Vivi or Eiko in the party.
The whole purpose of the mini game is to obtain a few cards. Below is a list of prizes that are recieved from successfully landing so many jumps.
| Jumps | Prize |
| 20 | 10 Gil |
| 50 | Cactuar Card |
| 100 | Genji Card |
| 200 | Alexandria Card |
| 300 | Tiger Racket Card |
| 1000 | King of Jump Rope |
The last item is just a key item.
