Wind Wavers

Wind Wavers is a Duel minigame found in Mario Party 5. Its name may be a pun on the title of the videogame The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, which was recent at the time.

Introduction
The camera focuses on Tweester and turns around with the camera zooming out, scaring the two characters.

Gameplay
The minigame's main objective is to escape from the giant Tweester by waving a fan at it. The player must alternately tap and  as fast as possible. As time goes on, the Tweester's sucking power increases, so it is recommended for the player to gradually increment the speed by pressing the and  buttons.

This minigame takes place in the sky. The characters are standing on yellow-colored clouds, and the Tweester is floating in front of them in a 3/4 view. The sky, unlike in other Mario Party minigames, is gray and cloudy, which suggests a hurricane or a cold day. Not long after the minigame commences, the Tweester sucks in a Paratroopa and sends it flying away a few seconds later.

This is one of the few minigames that do not use the red and blue patterns for Players One and Two. Instead, each character has their unique fan color. For example, Mario uses a red fan, Luigi uses a blue fan, and Boo uses a light-blue fan.

Ending
The Tweester sucks in the losing player and sends them flying off the screen. Shortly after, the winner throws their fan into it as they strike their victory pose. If both players are sucked in, however, the minigame ends in a draw with the Tweester getting stronger and then simply leaving the screen.
