Fish Sticks

Fish Sticks is a 4-player minigame in Mario Party 5. Its name comes from the real life food, fishsticks (also known as "fish fingers"), which are battered slices of fish.

The game involves many fishing rods all cast into a small pool in the center of a circular wooden deck. When a fishing rod sinks down, this signifies that a Cheep-Cheep has bitten the line, and players must go up to the rod and reel it in. Red Cheep-Cheeps are worth one point, and larger golden ones are worth three points. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

The minigame takes places in a wooden, circular-shaped deck or pier surrounded by water. As the minigame begins, the players walk in from four different colored boats. There are fishing rods scattered around the small pool in the center, making a total of 12 rods. These also come in several colors: Pink, orange, purple, yellow and green. In the pool in the center, there's a small reef and many Cheep Cheeps swimming around it.

The deck here is kept afloat by bi-colored inflated objects, rather than with sticks or logs.
