Heat Stroke

Heat Stroke is a 1-vs-3 minigame found in Mario Party 5. The name "Heat Stroke" comes from the medical condition in which someone's body temperature is unnaturally and unhealthily high due to the hot environment around them.

Gameplay
The game takes place on top of an eight-tiered tower on a hot star. The solo player is given a hammer with which to knock the platforms away, one at a time. When the solo player knocks the platform away, the team members must jump to avoid being knocked offscreen. The solo player can also fake the swing, tricking the team members into jumping too soon.

Over time, Podoboos fall, knocking out any team member who touches them. The solo player wins if he or she can knock out all of the team players. The team wins if there are any players left standing either when all eight tiers have been hit off or after the 30-second time limit runs out.
