Merry Poppings

Template:Minigame-infobox Merry Poppings is a Duel minigame found in Mario Party 5. Its name is a pun on the name of the fictional character Mary Poppins.

Introduction

The players are floating in the sky with balloons and shoot blowguns to try to pop each other's balloons.

Gameplay

The two dueling characters are suspended in the sky by the strings of 30 balloons. Each player is given a blowgun; by pressing and simultaneously, the characters can shoot their blowguns as fast as they can to pop their opponents' balloons. The first player to pop all 30 of their adversary's balloons wins.

Ending

Wario loses the minigame.

When the losing player runs out of balloons, the player screams in despair while falling. Then a "poof" is heard when the losing player's helpless body falls through the clouds. The winning player still in the sky waves while saying their victory line.
