Merry Poppings

Merry Poppings is a Duel minigame found in Mario Party 5. Its name is a pun on the name of the fictional character.

Introduction
The players are floating in the sky with balloons and shoot blowguns to try to pop each other's balloons.

Gameplay
The two dueling characters are suspended in the sky by the strings of 30 balloons. Each player is given a blowgun; by pressing and  simultaneously, the characters can shoot their blowguns as fast as they can to pop each other's balloons. The first player to pop all 30 of their adversary's balloons wins.

Ending
When the losing player runs out of balloons, they emit their "blown away" cry while falling. A "poof" is then heard when the losing player falls through the clouds. The winning player waves while saying their victory quote. However, if 5 minutes pass while a player fails to pop all 30 balloons to the other player, the 30 balloons on both players will pop and will also end in a tie.
