Big Dripper is a 4-Player minigame that is found in Mario Party 7. Its name is a pun on the name of the asterism called the Big Dipper.

Introduction[edit]

The four characters carrying their colored jars appear, standing near puddles of honey drips. The hives at both sides quake as the bees fly out into the open space as all the players duck to avoid the attack. The bees then fly back into their hives as the players stand up, believing that the area is safe. The minigame then starts.

Gameplay[edit]

Players try to collect honey that drips from the honeycombs on the ceiling within the time limit of 30 seconds. The players can notice the drips by seeing their shadows on the honey drip spots. The players must collect the drips before they land on the floor. Additionally, the hives residing on both sides occasionally rumble, signaling the players that the bees will fly out into the outdoors. The players have to duck to avoid the mass of bees, or they risk being stunned, thus wasting some time. At other times, the rumbling sensation from both of the hives results in a false alarm, meaning that the bees do not fly out. The player with the most drips of honey collected when time runs out wins the minigame. If two or three players have the same number of drips, those players win the minigame. However, if all players have the same number of drips, the minigame is considered a tie.

Ending[edit]

The players stand in a row with their pots as winners do their victory animations and losers do their losing animations. If all four players have the same number of points, they do their losing animations. During the ending, the Goomba that can be seen running in the background during the minigame is now seen being chased by bees.
