Leaf Leap
Template:Minigame-infobox Leaf Leap is a 4-player minigame found in Mario Party 5, and returns in Mario Party: The Top 100.
Introduction
A bean is dropped into the dirt, spawning the beanstalk with the first leaf.
Gameplay
Players must jump from leaf to leaf to try and climb the highest on the beanstalk. If players jump to a leaf that isn't there, they will fall until they land back on a leaf below. The player who climbs the highest wins. An orange leaf indicates where the record is set.
Mario's silhouette makes a cameo as a crater in the moon, visible if the player reaches high enough. However, this is impossible in the PAL version, as the best possible score is 150 metres, and the crater is first visible at 165.
This minigame appears as the fourth minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon. Here, the player's objective is to climb as many 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 120 metres/yards.
