There are five minigames total.

There are several different types of Goblin each with different colors and can take more hits. Green and Orange take one hit, Purple takes three, and the Giant Green Goblin takes ten. Whenever a Goblin is hit it is stunned allowing the player to hit it again. The more hits a Goblins takes to be defeated, the more points it gives.

Green gives 30 points, Red gives 50, Purple 80, and Giant Green gives 200. Cecil has two hearts that are his health. If he is hit twice, the game is over. The only way to save points is to hit the "Escape?" next to Whyt at the bottom right of the screen. Touching the sword icons will hit every Goblin on the screen. Bombs will instantly kill all the Goblins. As the game goes on the Goblins come in faster and in greater numbers. It is helpful to add a friend to kill more Goblins faster.

Throwing a shuriken at the attack can cause it to be deflected, but this is based on luck.
  +

Holding the stylus down on Edge will make him use Ninjutsu and hide, thus avoiding the enemy attack. Edge has three hits, and the game lasts sixty seconds. There are three kinds of enemies that appear: Death Flowers that take one hit and give 150 points, Treants that take two hits and give 300 points, and a Giant Malboro that takes twenty hits and gives 3,000 points. The Giant Malboro will only appear once after thirty seconds have passed. This minigame increases Whyt's Speed stat.

Template:Sideicon

Whyt, pronounced "whit", is a unique Eidolon in the Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy IV. It is the beginning form of Eidolons and the only Eidolon that can be named by the player.

Whyt is Rydia's Eidolon, and appears after Mist is destroyed. Whyt is a Whytkin, a "larval" Eidolon that has yet to mature to gather individual abilities. Like his parents, Whyt stays a Whytkin so that they can create new baby Eidolons. Despite this, Whyt has hidden potential that can increase his power greatly.

The player can design his face using the stylus. The customized face is saved automatically onto the DS Game Card, along with the high scores of the mini-games, so when a New Game is started, that face is the one the player sees. There are also costumes Whyt can obtain. New costumes are earned from the minigames. A Goblin costume is obtained when the player beats the game once, then beats it again using New Game+. A Zeromus costume is obtained when the player completes the entire Bestiary.

Whyt is exclusive to the DS version. He was removed from the iOS, Android, and PC versions.

When Whyt is summoned, he replaces Rydia in battle and acts automatically, based on the abilities the player assigns it prior to battle. It has infinite MP and will act thrice before dismissing itself.

Minigames

Whyt's stats can be increased by playing a selection of five minigames available from the Fat Chocobo. Whenever a new high score is added to the player's top three, Whyt will get an increase in stats. The minigames require the use of a stylus to the DS's touchscreen.

After gaining so many points, the player is rewarded with a certain item:

7,000-9,998 Ether, Hi-Potion, Phoenix Down, Unicorn Horn, Cottage

There are five minigames total. Each minigame applies to one of the five final characters: Rydia, Cecil, Kain, Rosa, and Edge, and they all boost one of Whyt's five stats. Any stat boosts earned will carry over to any other game file. If Whyt has received the max stat boost from a score of 9,999, the same stat boost applies when a new game is started.
