'''Piranha's Pursuit''' is a 1-vs-3 [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

==Introduction==
In the first ''Mario Party'', the minigame starts out with the [[Piranha Plant]] in the ground at small size getting showered by the rain and coming out of the ground. When the camera zooms out and shows everyone, the minigame starts.

In ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', instead of sprouting out of the ground, a tiny [[Petey Piranha]] flies in from offscreen, and he attempts to groan angrily.

==Gameplay==
The team players are on a smiling cloud and have to [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] it to feed the Piranha Plant (Petey Piranha in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'') with rain, while the solo player is on a skateboard and has to skate away from the Piranha Plant and avoid obstacles along the way. The more rain the Piranha Plant is fed, the bigger it grows and the farther it can jump. If the Piranha Plant catches the solo player, the team players win. If the solo player manages to run away from the Piranha Plant until it crashes into a gate, the solo player wins.

In ''Mario Party'', the minigame can be purchased from the [[Mini-Game House]] for 100 [[coin]]s.

In ''Mario Party Superstars'', the cloud no longer has a face.

===Trio Challenge===
In ''Mario Party Superstars'', this minigame is available in Stage 2 and Stage 5 of the [[Mt. Minigames#Trio Challenge|Trio Challenge]] in [[Mt. Minigames]].

In Stage 2, human players play as a team against a Normal CPU solo opponent, and the rank requirements are:
* A: Win within 38 seconds
* B: Win within 43 seconds
* C: Win within 48 seconds
* D: Win after 48 seconds elapse

In Stage 5, a single human player plays against Normal CPU opponents, and the rank requirements are:
* A: Finish with no mistakes
* B: Finish with just one mistake
* C: Finish with two mistakes
* D: Finish with three or more mistakes

==Ending==

*If the team wins, the Piranha Plant catches the solo player, thrashes them, hurls them at the ground, and growls at them while the announcer says, ''"Miss!"'' and the solo player does a losing pose. 15 of the solo player's coins go to the winning team (each team member gaining five coins).
**On [[Mini-Game Island]], however, the coins do not show if the player fails, and the announcer says, ''"Finish!"'' regardless.
**If this minigame is played in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', Petey Piranha simply knocks the solo player off the screen. As there is no ''"Miss!"'' or equivalent voice clip in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', the announcer says, ''"Finish!"'' instead, and the team of three wins coins in Minigame Match or the game boards.

*If the solo player wins, the Piranha Plant or Petey jumps after the solo player, only to slam into the goal gate face-first and faint. In ''Mario Party'', each player of the team of three forfeits five coins to the solo player (with the solo player gaining 15), and the solo player does their victory pose.
**The coins within the minigame do not appear in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', but when this minigame is played in Minigame Match or other game boards, the solo player still wins coins while all other players lose nothing.
