Big Top Drop

Template:Minigame-infobox Big Top Drop is a 1 Vs. 3 Minigame in Mario Party 5.

Gameplay

The goal for the single player is to eliminate the three opposing players who are on a tightrope. The single player drops balls from a swing while the other three players walk on the tightrope trying to evade the balls that are falling from above. They can also jump to maneuver around other players, but the jumper gets stunned after jumping for trying to attain balance. The team of three must last thirty seconds on the tightrope. If even one of them remains, they win. If all are eliminated, the single player wins.
