Bill Blasters (minigame)
Bill Blasters is a Battle mini-game found in Mario Party 5.
The ultimate goal of the game is to defeat all the players by shooting Bullet Bills at them. Each player is positioned in one of the screen's corners, and each is on a spinning platform. In front of the player is a Bill Blaster. The point is to press the A button in the right time so the Bullet Bill hits one of the players. The main challenge are the spinning platforms. When the player is hit, the platform will briefly spin slower, which is a small advantage as it's easier to aim. When shooting, the platform will stop spinning for a moment, but the player won't be able to shoot again. As less players are left,the platforms spin faster, resulting in madness when only two players are left.
The setting is quite distinctive for its colorful backgrounds. The players are located on top of what looks like a tall tower full of gears of different colors under them. There's also a big, golden Bullet Bill sculpture spinning on the middle of the gears.
It's also quite interesting to note the lack of difference in each players' platforms. The game usually uses the red, blue, green and yellow colors for Player 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively; while this mini-game doesn't have any kind of relevant different. In fact, they are all the same.
