'''Squared Away''' is a 1-vs-3 [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. Its name is a play on the expression "squared away," used to refer to one who is skilled and ready to accomplish their tasks.


==Overview==
==Introduction==
[[File:Squared Away - Mario Party Superstars.png|thumb|left|Gameplay from ''Mario Party Superstars'']]
The tiles for the grid drop down on the board while the solo player stands on a block in the upper left corner. All the blocks drop down: three big ones and one small one. The solo player jumps into the small one, and the minigame begins.
The minigame opens with tiles falling onto the ground, depicting Thwomp in the ''Mario Party 5'' version only,<ref>{{cite|timestamp=0:01|url=youtu.be/p70MjYF8Pkw?feature=shared&t=1|title=''Mario Party 5'' - Squared Away|author=NintendoMovies|date=September 25, 2017|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> then the players, who are represented as cubes.


The solo player is a small cube that moves around the board, depicting a pattern of either [[Mario]], a heart, a [[Cheep Cheep]], a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]], a blue [[Fire Flower]], a [[Goomba]], or a [[Mushroom]]; however, later versions include only the Mario variation. The goal is for the solo player to avoid being crushed by any of the team players, who are represented as larger but slower cubes. If a team player crushes the solo player before time runs out, they win, otherwise the solo player does.
==Gameplay==
[[File:Squared Away solo player fail.gif|thumb|Wario losing in ''Mario Party 5'']]
The solo player must avoid being crushed by the team players. Each team player covers four tiles with each roll, which is more than the solo player (which is only one per roll), but to counter this disadvantage, the solo player moves much more quickly than the team players. The solo player wins if they survive for 30 seconds. The team players win if one of them crushes the solo player.
The minigame ends in ''Mario Party 5'' with Thwomps chasing the losers while the winning side poses on a golden Thwomp. ''Mario Party Superstars'' simply shows the winners and losers perform their respective poses.
 
The arena is a 12×12 tile grid in ''Mario Party 5'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', which was reduced to a 10×10 grid in ''Mario Party: The Top 100''. ''Mario Party 5''{{'}}s version contains several different aesthetics for the tiled floor: [[Mario]], heart, [[Cheep Cheep]], [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]], blue [[Fire Flower]], [[Goomba]], and [[Mushroom]], but ''Mario Party: The Top 100''{{'}}s and ''Mario Party Superstars''{{'}} versions feature only a Mario aesthetic.
 
''Mario Party 5'' features no vocalizations, but in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', players vocalize for every step they make. The lone player also vocalizes when getting crushed, as does, in ''Mario Party Superstars''{{'}}s case, the character who crushed them.
 
==Ending==
[[File:SquaredAway End 5.png|thumb|left|The ending to Squared Away if the team wins in ''Mario Party 5'']]
In ''Mario Party 5'', depending on whoever wins, the loser(s) is/are chased by [[Thwomp]]s in the background and trip(s) while the winner(s) perform(s) their victory pose(s) on top of (a) golden Thwomp(s).
 
In ''Mario Party Superstars'', the winner(s) perform(s) their victory pose(s) in the middle of the arena, while the loser(s) can be seen performing their losing pose(s) in the top left corner of the arena.
