Flower Shower is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 5.

Overview

As a tune resembling the "Bridal Chorus" plays, two Koopa Troopas, a green-shelled male and a red-shelled female, walk out of the church in the background, with the female holding a bouquet. She then tosses the bouquet into the air, which drops flowers. The objective of this minigame is to collect as many flowers as possible before time runs out. Players run and jump around the area, collecting flowers, which fall from the sky and land on the ground, disappearing after a few moments. A pink flower is worth one point, while a golden flower is worth three points. Additionally, there are sections of water that slow down players who walk on them. The players can jump on each other to temporarily slow them down, making them unable to jump. Any player with the most points wins, though if all players end with the same number, the minigame is a draw.

When the minigame ends, the church bell rings and the winner catches the bouquet seen earlier. If there are multiple winners, they all catch a bouquet. If the minigame ends in a draw, the Koopa Troopas enter the church with the doors closing behind them while the players perform their losing animations.

This minigame appears as the third minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon. Here, the player's objective is to collect as many flowers as they can within the time limit to earn a score as high as possible, up to 1,000. The default record for this minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon is 33 points. There is no ending in the Mini-Game Decathlon variation; the screen fades to white before the results are shown.
