Bus Buffer is a 2-vs.-2 minigame found in Mario Party 5.

Overview[edit]

The object of this game is to clean the buses' roofs after a Shy Guy spills a can of green paint on them. The teams must work together to cover the most area and clean their buses. The first team to completely do so wins. If time runs out, the team that got the higher percentage clean wins.

Controls[edit]

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Polish the roof of the bus completely. The team that clears its bus first wins!"

The reflections of the buses in Bus Buffer
The reflections in question
  • The reflection of the buses in the puddles on the ground uses a different model from the one seen in-game, probably remnants of an earlier design of the buses.[1]
