The thing about MK9 is that getting mini-games are completely random, so yeah can get games where you hardly play any mini-games, and it happens pretty often. It's a pretty common and well agreed upon complaint about the game!
The mini-games themselves are good, much better than recent entries of the series (although the Wiimote control scheme definitely hurts it), but dear god you don't enough of them and the rest of the game is abysmal.
