| '''Bill Blasters''' is a Battle [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and a 4-Player minigame in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Introduction==
| | The ultimate goal of the game is to defeat all the players by shooting [[Bullet Bills]] at them. Each player is positioned in one of the screen's corners, and each is on a spinning platform. In front of the player is a [[Bill Blaster]]. The point is to press the A button in the right time so the Bullet Bill hits one of the players. The main challenge are the spinning platforms. When the player is hit, the platform will briefly spin slower, which is a small advantage as it's easier to aim. When shooting, the platform will stop spinning for a moment, but the player won't be able to shoot again. As less players are left,the platforms spin faster, resulting in madness when only two players are left. |

| The camera shows [[Bullet Bill]]s being transported along the conveyor belts to one of the [[cannon]]s. It then shows the view used in the minigame, and the platforms begin rotating as the minigame starts. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Gameplay==
| | The setting is quite distinctive for its colorful backgrounds. The players are located on top of what looks like a tall tower full of gears of different colors under them. There's also a big, golden Bullet Bill sculpture spinning on the middle of the gears. |
| The ultimate goal of the game is to defeat all the opposing players by shooting Bullet Bills at them. Each player is positioned in one of the screen's corners, and each is on a spinning platform. In front of the player is a [[Bill Blaster]]. Because the platform rotates constantly, players must time each shot so that they hit the intended opponent. When a player is hit, that player's platform rotates slower, making it easier to aim. After a player presses {{button|gcn|A}} to fire, their platform stops spinning for a moment, but the player cannot shoot again for several seconds. If two Bullet Bills collide with each other, they both explode in mid-flight. Each player can take three hits until they are eliminated. The last player remaining wins. If two or three players survive for a certain amount of time, they all win. However, if all four players survive for a certain amount of time, the game ends in a draw. | |

|
| ==Ending==
| | It's also quite interesting to note the lack of difference in each players' platforms. The game usually uses the red, blue, green and yellow colors for Player 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively; while this mini-game doesn't have any kind of relevant different. In fact, they are all the same. |
| The winner's/winners' platform(s) move(s) to the center of the arena. The winner(s) then strike(s) (a) victory pose(s).
