Squared Away

Squared Away is a 1-vs-3 minigame found in Mario Party 5. Its name is a play on the expression "squared away", used to refer to one who is skilled and ready to accomplish their tasks.

Gameplay
The solo player jumps inside a small box while the team is inside large boxes. The solo player must avoid being crushed by the team players. The team players can cover more area than the solo player with each roll, but to counter this disadvantage, the solo player moves much more quickly than the team players. If the solo player lasts for thirty seconds, they win, but if they are squished before then, the team wins. Even if the solo player is squished when the time limit expires, the team still wins.

Ending
Depending on whoever wins, the loser(s) will be chased by Thwomps in the background while the winner(s) do their victory dance on top of a golden Thwomp.
