Squared Away
|
Squared Away is a 1-vs-3 minigame found in Mario Party 5, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars. Its name is a play on the expression "squared away," used to refer to one who is skilled and ready to accomplish their tasks. ContentsIntroduction[edit]The tiles for the grid drop down on the board while the solo player stands on a block in the upper left corner. All the blocks drop down: three big ones and one small one. The solo player jumps into the small one, and the minigame begins. Gameplay[edit]The solo player must avoid being crushed by the team players. Each team player covers four tiles with each roll, which is more than the solo player (which is only one per roll), but to counter this disadvantage, the solo player moves much more quickly than the team players. The solo player wins if they survive for 30 seconds. The team players win if one of them crushes the solo player. The arena is a 12×12 tile grid in Mario Party 5 and Mario Party Superstars, which was reduced to a 10×10 grid in Mario Party: The Top 100. Mario Party 5's version contains several different aesthetics for the tiled floor: Mario, heart, Cheep Cheep, Yoshi Egg, blue Fire Flower, Goomba, and Mushroom, but Mario Party: The Top 100's and Mario Party Superstars' versions feature only a Mario aesthetic. Mario Party 5 features no vocalizations, but in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars, players vocalize for every step they make. The lone player also vocalizes when getting crushed, as does, in Mario Party Superstars's case, the character who crushed them. Ending[edit]In Mario Party 5, depending on whoever wins, the loser(s) is/are chased by Thwomps in the background and trip(s) while the winner(s) perform(s) their victory pose(s) on top of (a) golden Thwomp(s). In Mario Party Superstars, the winner(s) perform(s) their victory pose(s) in the middle of the arena, while the loser(s) can be seen performing their losing pose(s) in the top left corner of the arena.
