Handy Hoppers

Handy Hoppers is a 2-vs.-2 minigame found in Mario Party 5. Its name is a pun on the phrase "handy helpers."

Gameplay
The goal of the minigame is to jump over the bar as many times as possible. One player rotates a lever, making the hands holding the bar rotate. The other player must jump this bar as it passes below them. The point is to rotate it fast but not extremely fast so the player jumping it can jump in time. The team with more points at the end of the minigame wins. If both teams have the same number of points, the minigame ends in a draw.

This minigame takes place on a giant gloved hand, with a blue sky and a rainbow in the background. Holding the bar are two hands wearing white gloves. There are more of these hands over the screen. The player who is jumping is standing on a hand-shaped carpet with a star in the middle. Everything for the players to the left is red, while the others receive their traditional blue.
