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


==Overview==
==Introduction==
[[File:MPS Piranha's Pursuit.jpg|thumb|left|Gameplay in ''Mario Party Superstars'']]
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.
The minigame opens with a small [[Piranha Plant]] coming out of the ground after being showered with rain. In later iterations, the replacement, [[Petey Piranha]], flies in from offscreen before gameplay starts.


The gameplay involves team players [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] a cloud to launch raindrops on the Piranha Plant (Petey Piranha in later versions) to make it larger, faster, and jump farther, as the solo player skateboards off, dodging obstacles, namely rocks and falling logs; if they jump onto a vine, they can swing on it. If the solo player is hit, the team players win, but if the solo player reaches the end, where the Piranha Plant or Petey Piranha hits their face into a gate, they win.
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.


In later iterations, a meter showing the solo player's progress appears on the bottom of the screen.
==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 gets 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 Superstars'', the cloud no longer has a face.
If the solo player wins, the camera moves closer to them as they do their victory pose, though if they lose in ''Mario Party'', the announcer says ''"Miss!"'' as the Piranha Plant thrashes the solo player, throws them at the ground, and growls at them. On [[Mini-Game Island]], the announcer says, ''"Finish!"'' instead. In later editions of Piranha's Pursuit, if the solo player loses, Petey Piranha knocks them off-screen.


In ''Mario Party'', if the solo player wins, they receive fifteen coins, five from each player; if they lose, the team players each receive five coins from the solo player. In ''Mario Party Superstars'', this is changed to the usual outcome of the winning side earning 10 coins.
==Ending==
[[File:Piranha's Pursuit Team end.png|thumb|The ending to Piranha's Pursuit if the team wins in ''Mario Party'']]
*If the team wins, the Piranha Plant catches the solo player, shakes them violently, and laughs at them while the announcer says, ''"Miss!"'' and the solo player does a losing pose. 15 of the solo player's [[coin]]s 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.


In ''Mario Party Superstars'', this minigame is available in Stages 2 and 5 of the [[Mt. Minigames#Trio Challenge|Trio Challenge]] in [[Mt. Minigames]]. In Stage 2, human players play as a team against a Normal computer-controlled solo opponent, and they can earn Rank A by winning within 38 seconds, Rank B for 43 seconds, Rank C for 48 seconds, or Rank D for after 48 seconds. In Stage 5, a single human player plays against Normal computer-controlled opponents, and they can earn Rank A by finishing with no mistakes; Rank B if they make one mistake; Rank C if they do two mistakes; or Rank D if they make three or more mistakes.

*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 minigame can be bought from the [[Mini-Game House]] in ''Mario Party'' for 100 [[Coin]]s.
**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.
