Heat Stroke
Heat Stroke is a 1-vs-3 mini-game found in Mario Party 5.
Gameplay
The game takes place on top of an eight-tiered tower on a hot star, possibly the Sun. The solo player is given a hammer with which to knock the platforms away, one at a time. When the solo player knocks the platform away, the team members must jump to avoid being knocked offscreen. The solo player can also fake the swing, tricking the team members into jumping too soon.
Over time, Podoboos fall from above, knocking out any team member who touches them. The solo player wins if he or she can knock out all of the team players. The team wins if there are any players left standing either when all eight tiers have been hit off or after the 30-second time limit runs out.
