Overview[edit]

Storm Chasers from Mario Party Superstars
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

Each player holds a potted Piranha Plant and goes after a rain cloud, trying to water theirs.[1][2][3] The rain clouds resemble Lakitu's Clouds more closely in later versions. About partway through, Monty Moles pop out of holes, briefly stunning a player on contact. The player who has watered their Piranha Plant the most wins.
