Hydrostars

Hydrostars is a 4-player minigame found in Mario Party 5.

Introduction
The four players, in their speedboats, drive up to the starting gate. The camera then zooms in on the player as the screen splits into four.

Gameplay
Players in their boats attempt to drive through five numbered ring markers in order. There is an arrow indicating the direction of the next marker. If players hit one of the crates floating in the water, they are stunned for a moment. After driving through all five markers, players must still drive through the finish line to win.

Ending
The screen zooms in on the winner's screen, as he or she continues driving while waving.
