Triple Triad and Gwent off the top of my head.

 

[Version 3.0]

Attache case management, Resident Evil 4.

Serious answers: Home Run Contest and Target Test, Super Smash Bros Melee. Monkey Golf, Super Monkey Ball.

One of the originals:

Gradius intermission mini game from Blades of Steel (NES).

Pokemon Stadium 1&2 easy.

Probably people out there better than me, but I've never lost the Sandshrew mini-game in my life against any of my friends.

I think I spent more time on minigames in Mario 64 DS than on the game itself. Also:

...pretty much all of these. I don't think I ever actually finished the "main" part of either Pokemon Stadium 1 or 2 because of all the awesome minigames. In 2, you could even transfer your winnings over to Gold/Silver/Crystal in the form of extra casino tokens, which made it pretty damn lucrative.

Seriously, 95%+ of my time in both Stadium games were either playing minigames or at the GBC tower, where you could play your games in color, Super Game Boy style, on the TV through the Transfer Pak. (It was very useful at the time because we kept running out of batteries. Pokemania at its peak was crazy...)

Monkey Target the tread. We're done here.

Triple Triad and GWENT are also acceptable.

 

[impirius]

Wanted from Super Mario 64 DS

 

[poodaddy]

Gwent was one of the best parts of The Witcher 3. I even enjoy the in game version of Gwent more than the standalone title that's in beta right now.

 

[elfinke]

It's got a bit tedious in replays but the first time through FFX bliztball pretty much doubled my playtime

Yep, same. A year or two back I replayed FFX simply so that I could play blitzball, build up the team etc.

Awesome mini game, vastly better than the card based ones they shit out.

 

[friskykillface]

Mario party 5's penguin escape mini game was played so fucking much back when I was in high school after smash brothers or NBA street vol 2
🐐

 

[Tesser]

Saucer of [BLEEPING] Peril from Banjo-Tooie.

The countless attempts at trying to hit every single target, wondering if it was an impossible feat.

 

[BlueBadger]

Fricken.. Clefairy Says from the first Pokémon Stadium. On loop. On. Loop.

 

[bizzarewars]

I did the fishing minigame in FFXV a lot to get the trophy.

Spoiler

I actually ended up playing it more than that though, because I ended up liking it a lot.

 

[SenkiDala]

Gwent in Witcher 3
Triple Triad in FFVIII
All the mini games in the Arcade in Shenmue, I spend hundreds of hours playing that...

 

[Brenal]

Tin Pin Slammer from TWEWY was awesome i would like a full game of that

 

[Dangerblade]

Specter Boxing and Galaxy Monkey in the original Ape Escape. Definitely played them more than the actual game.

 

[Shinobix]

Surfing Pikachu in Pokemon yellow

 

[Raticus79]

I actually liked the gummi ship minigame in Kingdom Hearts.

TerraTech sort of scratches the same itch.

 

[Rock And Roll]

One of the originals:

Gradius intermission mini game from Blades of Steel (NES).

Holy hell I completely forgot about this. Loved this and Blades of Steel. Heck I think me and my brothers spent more time brawling in that game than actually playing hockey, so maybe that counts?

 

[ghibli99]

In recent memory, easily Gwent from TW3. Feel like I played that even more than the actual game. LOL Avoiding the standalone beta... just want the final real deal.

 

[iosef]

Turtle shell skateboarding in Mario 64 Bob-Omb Battlefield was my own personal minigame.
