The characters are located in a blue-and-indigo-fenced arena in the middle of a desert. There are various cacti and flowers that can be found on the outside of the fence. Players with potted [[Piranha Plant]]s have to chase the rain cloud (which was updated to greatly resemble [[Lakitu's Cloud]] in later ''Mario Party'' games) to feed the Piranha Plants as the rain cloud moves randomly. In the middle of the minigame, some [[Monty Mole]]s pop out of the holes; if a player bumps into one, that player will trip over (in ''Mario Party 3'') or be knocked back (in ''The Top 100'' and ''Superstars''), stunning them. The cloud would occasionally zip around the arena only in ''The Top 100''. The player who gathers the most rain for their potted Piranha Plant wins.
