Buzzstormer is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name is possibly a pun on "brainstormer" or "barnstormer." It takes place in an oversized meadow.
Introduction[edit]
The first team is shown flying in its aircraft towards a dandelion, then the team turns right to avoid it. The screen then splits in two to show the other team as the minigame starts.
Gameplay[edit]
In this minigame, both teams of players are in large bee-like aircraft and need to get through a forest of large dandelions. Hitting a dandelion's stem paralyzes a team's aircraft for a few seconds, giving the other team a chance to get ahead. The first team to get to the end of the dandelions is greeted by a large cliff and an open field and wins the minigame. If five minutes pass without either side crossing the finish line, the minigame ends in a tie.
Ending[edit]
The winning team continues flying in its aircraft while the two team members wave.
Controls[edit]
– Move
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – "Move left and right to avoid the dandelions."
- Advice – "Move in the same direction as your partner to make the bee tilt more."

Trivia[edit]
- If a team does not hit anything, then the team is guaranteed to get a time of 19"45 (in the NTSC/60Hz version)/23"34 (in the PAL/50Hz version). In both cases, it is equivalent to 1,167 frames.
