Handy Hoppers

Template:Minigame-infobox Handy Hoppers is a 2-vs.-2 minigame found in Mario Party 5. Its name is a pun on the phrase "Handy helpers".

The goal of the game is to jump over the bar as many times as possible. One player rotates a lever, which makes the hands holding the bar rotate. The other player must jump this bar as it passes below him or her. The point is to rotate it fast, but not extremely fast so the player jumping it can jump in time.

This minigame takes place in a snowy mountain of sorts, with a blue sky and a rainbow in the background. Holding the bar are two hands wearing white gloves. There are more of these hands over the screen. The player who is jumping is standing on a hand-shaped carpet, with a star in the middle. Everything for the players to the left is red, while the others receive their traditional blue.

In-Game Instructions

Jump over the bar as many times as you can. One player rotates the lever to turn the bar, and the other player jumps.

• Advice
  
  • Tap A for a smaller jump.
  • Press L and R rapidly to increase the speed of the bar, but be careful to not force your partner to make a mistake.
