Ice Hockey (minigame)

Ice Hockey is a Bonus minigame in Mario Party 5, a Special minigame in Mario Party: The Top 100, and a Sports & Puzzles minigame in Mario Party Superstars. It uses a Hockey Stick. Hosted by Mamar, it is described as "A Mario Party on ice!"

Setting
The game takes place on an ice hockey arena split into red and blue sides, with an emblem of a Super Star with red and blue hockey sticks printed in the middle. The arena is protected by a glass fence with outlines of Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and Super Stars, and several Goombas and Koopa Troopas are spectating on yellow, blue, red, and white bleachers.

Gameplay
In this minigame, two three-player teams (two players and a goalie) try to score more goals than the opposing team within a time limit. While playing, the player uses to move, the  button to attempt to pass or steal the puck, the  button to make a strong shot or a body check, and the  button to shoot a weak shot.

After reading the instructions, the player can choose the four characters that will play (Shy Guys will act as goalies), choose teams and computer difficulty levels, and set the time limit for the match (60 seconds, three minutes, or five minutes). The game then gets underway with an opening face-off in the middle of the rink and lasts until time expires, at which point the team with more goals is declared the winner, or if the scores are equal, the match is declared a draw.
