The mini pinball game, at the top-right of the Family Guy pinball table(2007).
It is fast paced and well put together.
That really makes me laugh and cry

I literally could never understand how to play Pazaak. To me it's just a weird version of Blackjack
So you do understand it.

Not a minigame, but Maniac Mansion being within The Day of the Tentacle is probably my fav.

Not sure if it will count, but the Ancient Cave in Lufia 2 (SNES) was a game in and of itself. It was basically a roguelike dungeon. 100 random floors, it reverts you to level 1 and there were rare special items you could sometimes find in runs that could be brought back in. Beating the Ancient Cave is much, much harder and more rewarding than beating the game itself (storyline aside).

I thought of another one. There is a minigame in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 called Tiger! Tiger that is great. it is basically an arcade game where getting certain scores gives you credits that can be redeemed for upgrades for some characters. The minigame is randomized and has three different difficulty tiers and is overall really well done.

Probably not what you are asking for, but the character creation process in the Traveller ttRPG is a great mini game. You basically take a person from 18 to however old you want, and their life path is dictated by your choices and random dice outcomes. It's a lot of fun. You can end up with a retired admiral, a prisoner or criminal, psionic, etc. Going through this process with a table of friends let's you build in rich fun connections along the way. The actual RPG then starts with mature, connected characters with a history, instead of 4 randos meeting in a tavern. In the classic Traveller you can even die in character creation. Current iterations removed the death component but you can be maimed from accidents in your career and start the game with a mountain of medical debt.

Sonic Adventure 2 has a pretty decent adventure platformer built into it
Yeah, Chao Garden 2 Battle had some really amazing minigames. One of the best was the ability to play as Sonic or Shadow, and experience an entire plotline. Lots of players missed it almost entirely, because they were just too wrapped up in the main Chao Garden game to bother with the Light/Dark story stuff.

Blitzball Final Fantasy X
A really divisive minigame, to be sure. My wife and I both hated blitzball, (I save-scummed to get Wakka’s ultimates ASAP, then never touched it again) but my buddy probably sank 150 hours into it during his first play through.
