'''Herbicidal Maniac''' is a two vs. two mini-game in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' where two people on each team have to shoot all of the [[Piranha Plants]] that pop out of the holes three times. But they need to avoid the mines or it will cause lots of Piranha Plants to appear making the game much harder. The easy way to tell which target cursor is the player's is that the first player has a round one and the second player has a square one.

'''Herbicidal Maniac''' is a 2-vs.-2 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. The minigame's name is a portmanteau of "homicidal maniac," which is a term that refers to a person with an insane desire to kill other people, and "herbicide," a chemical used to kill plants.


==Introduction==
The minigame's name is a pun on "homicidal maniac", which is a term that refers to a person with an insane desire to kill other people.
[[Piranha Plant]]s and [[bomb]]s emerge from all the pipes and then go back in as the players' pipe platforms move up.
 
==Gameplay==
Two players on each team have to shoot all the Piranha Plants that pop out of the pipes. However, if a bomb is hit, many more Piranha Plants will appear, making it more difficult for the team to win. On each team, the first player has a round target cursor and the second player has a square one. If two teammates try to shoot the same target simultaneously, their projectiles will hit each other and be destroyed upon contact. When a team shoots all the Piranha Plants on its side, that team earns a point. The first team to earn three points wins. If both teams have the same score after a certain number of rounds, a tie occurs.
 
==Ending==

The winners do their winning animations, while the losers do their losing animations as their platforms are lowered. If the minigame ends in a tie, both teams do their losing poses while their platforms are lowered.
