The goal of the game is to avoid falling off the platform by dodging the opponents' punches and kicks, the falling [[Cheep Cheep]]s, and moving from crumbling pieces of lands, as those fall shortly after they start shaking. The last standing player wins.
The objective is to avoid falling off the platform by dodging the opponents' [[punch]]es and [[kick]]s, avoiding the falling Cheep Cheeps, and staying away from crumbling sections of the playfield. The players can punch or [[jump]] on their opponents to push them off the platform or slow them down, making them more vulnerable to the platform's hazards. Cheep Cheeps randomly fall from the sky, often towards the edges of the current platform; any sections of the platform that the Cheep Cheeps land on crumble and fall shortly after, shrinking the playfield over time. Cheep Cheeps come in small blue variants that destroy one block of land and in [[Big Cheep Cheep|large red variants]] that remove several blocks of land on contact. Players hit by Cheep Cheeps are temporarily stunned and risk falling off as a result. The last player standing wins. If all players fall off the platform, the minigame ends in a draw.
 
The players can punch their opponents to push them outside of the star-shaped platform, and jump on the opponents to make them move slower, or jump on them while they are jumping over a hole to make them fall. But more than the opponents, the main thing the players have to watch out for are the falling Cheep Cheeps, from which the "Fish" in this minigame's name comes from. These Cheep Cheeps randomly fall from the sky anywhere on the ground, usually on the edges. When colliding against the ground, the Cheep Cheep destroys that segment of the platform, making the land smaller and smaller as time passes. There are two kind of Cheep Cheeps; blue ones, which are small and take out just but a single "block" of land, and red ones, which destroy several blocks of lands at once with their gargantuan size. If a Cheep Cheep happens to hit any players, they are temporarily stunned and unable to move.
 
The third factor that can eliminate a player from this minigame is the crumbling ground. If the ground begins shaking below the player, he or she must move out of there as quickly as possible, as this shaking indicates the ground will fall down.

The game is also accompanied by [[Shy Guy]]s in swordfish-shaped ships, and [[Klepto]]s, all of which circle the crumbling star, but are not involved in the game.

Fish Upon a Star is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 5. The name is a pun on the saying "wish upon a star."

Introduction[edit]

The four players are standing on a floating circular platform, with Kleptos and Shy Guys in swordfish-shaped ships circling it. Five Cheep Cheeps fly into the air and land on the edges, causing them to crumble away into a star shape.

Gameplay[edit]

The objective is to avoid falling off the platform by dodging the opponents' punches and kicks, avoiding the falling Cheep Cheeps, and staying away from crumbling sections of the playfield. The players can punch or jump on their opponents to push them off the platform or slow them down, making them more vulnerable to the platform's hazards. Cheep Cheeps randomly fall from the sky, often towards the edges of the current platform; any sections of the platform that the Cheep Cheeps land on crumble and fall shortly after, shrinking the playfield over time. Cheep Cheeps come in small blue variants that destroy one block of land and in large red variants that remove several blocks of land on contact. Players hit by Cheep Cheeps are temporarily stunned and risk falling off as a result. The last player standing wins. If all players fall off the platform, the minigame ends in a draw.

Ending[edit]

The camera zooms in to give a frontal view of the winner, who performs their victory animation as two rainbows form in the background.
