Cage-in Cookin'

Template:Minigame-infobox Cage-in Cookin is a Bowser minigame found in Mario Party 5. Its name is a pun on Cajun Cooking.

Introduction

The game starts with Bowser stepping off of his throne. The camera pans to reveal the four players trapped in cages.

Gameplay

This is one of the three Bowser minigames in Mario Party 5, and appears as one of the random Bowser events activated when the players lands on a Bowser Space. The object of this minigame is to escape from the cage to avoid being burnt by Bowser. In order to get out of the cage, the player must press the buttons that appear on the cage's lock as fast as possible. Upon pressing a total of eight randomly chosen buttons, the player's character's cage will open, and the character will run outside of the cave to safety. Pressing the wrong button prevents action for a brief time.

Setting

The scenery depicts one of Bowser's numerous keeps. This one is set in a Bowser-shaped mountain or tall stone building of sorts. The mouth is open, and inside a throne and some pillars can be found, besides a checkered floor and some torches. The mouth, which ends looking like a cave, has two openings: the mouth itself, of course, and a small passage to the right, which the characters take upon escaping from the cages.

Controls

• "Press the buttons in the order they appear on the cage."
