Template:Minigame-infobox 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 of three is on a smiling cloud and have to 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. 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.

Ending

  • If the team wins, the Piranha Plant will catch the solo player, shake them violently, and laugh at them while the announcer says, "Miss!" and the solo player will do a losing pose. 15 of the solo player's coins go to the winning team (each team member gaining five coins).
    • In Mini-Game Island, however, the coins will not show if the player fails, and the announcer will say, "Finish!" regardless.
    • If this minigame is played in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars, Petey Piranha will simply knock 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 will jump after the solo player, only to slam into the goal gate face-first and fall backwards. 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 will still win coins while all other players lose nothing.
