Pump 'n' Jump is a duel Minigame found in Mario Party 5.

Gameplay

The object of the mini-game is to build up as much pressure as possible in the platform the player's character is standing on, so the character jumps higher than their opponent and wins. The faster the player presses the button, the more pressure he or she builds, and therefore, the higher the character will jump. After ten seconds, the characters will jump high in the air to determine the winner of the game. The player who has the highest jump distance wins the game.

This minigame takes place in a western-themed town common to Duel minigames. The most interesting feature is that when the characters jump, a small window appears in the bottom right of the screen, showing the characters high in the air, being filmed by a Lakitu. This same Lakitu also accompanies the players while they are building up the most pressure possible.
