'''Countdown Pound''' is a Duel [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''.
 
==Gameplay==
The two players each stand on a platform that is connected to a timer and a balloon that corresponds to the character's color (for example, [[Mario]] has a red balloon, [[Yoshi]] has a green one, and [[Koopa Kid]] has an orange one). The timer counts down from ten seconds while pumping a balloon. The goal is to [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] the platform as close to 00:00 seconds as possible. The player who is closer to 00:00 seconds is the winner. If both players stop the timer at the exact time or fail to ground-pound before the timer reaches zero, the minigame ends in a draw.
 
==Ending==
[[File:Countdown Pound (Draw) - Mario Party 5.png|thumb|Both players losing Countdown Pound]]
The losing player's timer changes to XX:XX, and their balloon inflates until it bursts, sending them flying offscreen. The winner then celebrates. If the minigame ends in a draw, both timers change to XX:XX, and both balloons inflate until they burst.
