Buzzstormer is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name is possibly a pun on "barnstormer." It takes place in an oversized meadow.

Introduction[edit]

The first team is shown flying in its aircraft towards a dandelion, then the team turns right to avoid it. The screen then splits in two to show the other team as the minigame starts.

Gameplay[edit]

In this minigame, both teams of players are in large bee-like aircraft and need to get through a forest of large dandelions. Hitting a dandelion's stem paralyzes a team's aircraft for a few seconds, giving the other team a chance to get ahead. The first team to get to the end of the dandelions is greeted by a large cliff and an open field and wins the minigame. If five minutes pass without either side crossing the finish line, the minigame ends in a tie.

Ending[edit]

The winning team continues flying in its aircraft while the two team members wave.

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Move left and right to avoid the dandelions."
  • Advice"Move Control Stick in the same direction as your partner to make the bee tilt more."

Trivia[edit]

  • If a team does not hit anything, then the team is guaranteed to get a time of 19"45 (in the NTSC/60Hz version)/23"34 (in the PAL/50Hz version). In both cases, it is equivalent to 1,167 frames.
