'''Fish Upon a Star''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. The name is a pun on the saying "wish upon a star."
'''Fish Upon a Star''' is a 4-player mini-game found in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', the mini-game's name is derived from the saying "Wish upon a star".


==Introduction==
The minigame starts with the four players standing on a circular, floating platform. Suddenly, five giant cheep cheeps arc through the air and punch holes in the edges of the platform, forming a star shape.
The four players are standing on a floating circular [[platform]], with [[Klepto]]s and [[Shy Guy]]s in swordfish-shaped ships circling it. Five [[Cheep Cheep]]s fly into the air and land on the edges, causing them to crumble away into a star shape.


==Gameplay==
The goal of the game is to avoid falling off the platform by dodging the opponents' punches and kicks, the falling [[Cheep Cheep]]s and moving from crumbling pieces of lands, as those fall shortly after they start shaking. The last standing player wins.  
The objective is to avoid falling off the platform by dodging the opponents' [[punch]]es and [[kick]]s, avoiding the falling Cheep Cheeps, and staying away from crumbling sections of the playfield. The players can punch or [[jump]] on their opponents to push them off the platform or slow them down, making them more vulnerable to the platform's hazards. Cheep Cheeps randomly fall from the sky, often towards the edges of the current platform; any sections of the platform that the Cheep Cheeps land on crumble and fall shortly after, shrinking the playfield over time. Cheep Cheeps come in small blue variants that destroy one block of land and in [[Big Cheep Cheep|large red variants]] that remove several blocks of land on contact. Players hit by Cheep Cheeps are temporarily stunned and risk falling off as a result. The last player standing wins. If all players fall off the platform, the minigame ends in a draw.


==Ending==
The player can punch his or her opponents to push them outside of the star-shaped platform and jump on the opponents to make them move slower, or jump on them while they are jumping over a hole to make them fall. But more than the opponents, the main thing the player has to watch out for are the falling Cheep Cheeps, from which the "Fish" in this mini-game's name comes from. These Cheep Cheeps randomly fall from the sky anywhere on the ground, usually on the edges. When colliding against the ground, the Cheep Cheep destroy it, making the land smaller and smaller as time passes. There are two kind of Cheep Cheeps; blue ones, which are small and take out just but a single "block" of land, and red ones, which destroy several blocks of lands at once with their gargantuan size. If a Cheep Cheep gets to hit the player, he or she will be temporarily dizzied and unable to move.
The camera zooms in to give a frontal view of the winner, who performs their victory animation as two rainbows form in the background.


==Controls==
The third factor that can eliminate a player from this mini-game is the crumbling ground. If the ground begins shaking below the player, he or she must move out of there as quick as possible, as this shaking indicates the ground will fall down.

==In-game text==
This mini-game takes place in an unspecified area of the sky. The players fight on a star-shaped piece of land, which is divided into several connected blocks. However, these "blocks" are not visible on the grass. A [[Klepto]] can be seen flying in circles below the area the players are on, but really serves no purpose. Similarly, there's a [[Shy Guy]] riding a pink balloon-like machine. A lot lower, the player can see another star-shaped floating island similar to the one he or she is fighting on, except this one has more grass and appears to be on the gound.
*'''Rules''' &ndash; ''"Avoid the falling objects, the crumbling ground, and the other players. The last player standing wins."''
*'''Advice''' &ndash; ''"If you feel the ground starting to shake, it's about to fall out from underneath you! Get to a solid piece of land... quick!"''


==Gallery==
When a player wins, rainbows appear between the clouds as the character does his or her winning dance.
