Pump, Pump and Away is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party 3.
Overview
Both players on a team try to pump more air into their rocket than the opposing side within ten seconds. The most air can be released into the rocket while the pump flashes. Once the countdown is over, the rockets blast off, passing Fly Guys, Bullet Bills, and Lakitus measuring the distance traveled. A team wins by launching their rocket the highest, but if neither team does anything, it is a draw. Both teams can achieve the same distance, except of them wins by 48 units in such an occurrence.[1]
In the ending, the winning team's rocket parachutes down to them, while the losing team's crashes upside-down in front of them.
The minigame title is a play on the phrase "up, up, and away."
