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

Overview

Players in their boats attempt to drive through five numbered ring markers in order. There is an arrow indicating the direction of the next marker. If players hit one of the crates floating in the water, players are stunned for a moment. After driving through all five markers, players must still drive through the finish line to win. Whoever drives through it first wins. If five minutes pass, the minigame ends in a draw.

This minigame appears as the seventh minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon. Here, the player's objective is to finish the course as fast as possible to earn as many points as possible, up to 1,000. The default record for this minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon is 52.64 seconds. Also, the minigame ends once all players finish or if one minute and 30 seconds pass.

There is no ending in the Mini-Game Decathlon variation; the screen fades to white before the results are shown.
