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.

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.
