The characters are located in a blue and indigo fenced area in the middle of a desert. There are various cacti and flowers that can be found on the outside of the fence. Players with [[Piranha Plant (potted)|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.
