Whack-a-Plant

Whack-a-Plant is a 1-Player minigame in Mario Party. Its name and gameplay are based on the arcade game.

Gameplay
The player simply needs to jump on the Piranha Plants as they pop out from pipes to gain Coins. The player can hold down to jump farther. The number of Piranha Plants increases by one every time they come out, starting at one plant and increasing to eight, filling all but one pipe. One Coin is earned for each Piranha Plant that is stomped. This minigame can give the player up to 36 Coins. Special celebratory music plays if all 36 Coins are collected. If no Coins are collected, the minigame ends in a "Miss!" Unlike in other 1-Player minigames, when this minigame is lost, the player does not lose the usual five Coins.
