Piece Out

Piece Out is a Duel mini-game found in Mario Party 5 and a Puzzle mini-game in Mario Party DS. The title is based of the saying "piece out". This game features 1-minute, 3-minute and 5-minute modes, although the duel is contested under the standard 1-minute mode.

The object of the game is for players to fill their respective space with blocks carried out by a conveyer belt. If the player picks the wrong block(s) and wants to get rid of them, they must hover the blocks over the Trash Bin area at the bottom of the player's field. This way, the player will get rid of this block and will be able to grab a new one. Once the field is completely filled, the pieces will disappear, giving the player more chances to fill the space and get more points. Points are based on the size of the area of the same-colored blocks, and are not awarded until the space is filled.
