Flower Shower (minigame)

Template:Minigame-infobox Flower Shower is a 4-player minigame found in Mario Party 5. Its name is a pun on both "Flower Power", a hippie slogan, and "power shower", a type of bathroom shower.

Introduction

Two Koopas, a green-shelled male and a red-shelled female, each walk out of the church in the background, with the female holding a bouquet. She then tosses her bouquet into the air, followed by the camera zooming out to show the four players in the area the minigame takes place.

Gameplay

The objective for this minigame is to collect as many flowers as possible before time runs out. Players run around the area collecting flowers, which fall from the sky and land on the ground, disappearing after a few instants. A pink flower rewards the player with a single point, while a golden flower is worth three points. Additionally, other than simple grass patches or ground, there are sections of water which make the player considerably slower when moving through it. The players can jump on each other to temporarily make the opponents slower and unable to jump.

This minigame appears as the third minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon. Here, the player's objective is to collect as much flowers as possible within the time limit to earn as much points as possible, up to a maximum of 1,000. The default record for this minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon is 33 points.

Ending

The four players are lined up on the bridge from the minigame. The church bell then starts ringing as the winner catches the bouquet from the introductions, followed by striking a victory pose which the losers perform their losing animations, with the two Koopas cheering in the background. There is no ending in the Mini-Game Decathlon variation, the screen fades to white before the results are shown.
