Buzzstormer
Template:Minigame-infobox Buzzstormer is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name is possibly a pun on "brainstormer."
Introduction
The first team is shown flying in its aircraft towards a dandelion, then the team turns right to avoid it. The screen then splits in two to show the other team as the minigame starts.
Gameplay
In this minigame, both teams of players are in large bee-like aircraft and need to get through a forest of large dandelions.
Hitting a dandelion's stem will paralyze a team's aircraft for a few seconds, giving the other team a chance to get ahead. The first team to get to the end of the dandelions is greeted by a large cliff and an open field, and wins the minigame.
Ending
The winning team continues flying in its aircraft while the two team members wave.
Controls
