Feed and Seed is a boss minigame against a Piranha Plant in Mario Party DS.

Introduction

The player, suspended in the air with a balloon tied around their body, lowers down to the Piranha Plant.

Gameplay

The player and Piranha Plant have a Health Meter. The player has five Health Points, while the Piranha Plant has three. There are six bomb seeds on the side, which the Piranha Plant sucks in, as well as the player if they get too close. When it spits the bomb seeds out, the player must catch one and then throw it back into the Piranha Plant's mouth when it tries to suck in more bomb seeds. However, if the player hangs on to the seed too long, it flashes yellow and orange before exploding and damaging the player. The player also takes damage if hit by a seed or if swallowed by the Piranha Plant. With each successful throw, it sucks in one more bomb seed than in the previous phase (initially three), and it pulls the player in harder than before.

After taking three hits, the Piranha Plant is defeated, and the player clears Wiggler's Garden and obtains the first Sky Crystal.

Ending

The Piranha Plant's vine limps down, causing its large head to fall flat on the ground. The player's balloon is released, causing them to land atop the Piranha Plant, where the player celebrates. If the player loses, the Piranha Plant laughs.
