Buzzstormer is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name is possibly a pun on "brainstormer" or "barnstormer." It takes place in an oversized meadow.
Introduction
The first team is shown flying in its aircraft towards a dandelion, then the team turns right to avoid it. The screen then splits in two to show the other team as the minigame starts.
Gameplay
In this minigame, both teams of players are in large bee-like aircraft and need to get through a forest of large dandelions. Hitting a dandelion's stem paralyzes a team's aircraft for a few seconds, giving the other team a chance to get ahead. The first team to get to the end of the dandelions is greeted by a large cliff and an open field and wins the minigame. If five minutes pass without either side crossing the finish line, the minigame ends in a tie.
Ending
The winning team continues flying in its aircraft while the two team members wave.
