Ice Hockey (minigame)
Ice Hockey is a bonus minigame available in the bonus mode of Mario Party 5. It uses a Hockey Stick. Hosted by Mamar, it is described as "A Mario Party on ice!" In this mini-game, two three-person teams (two players and a goalie) try to score more goals than the opposing team within a time limit. It also returns in Mario Party: The Top 100.
Gameplay
As quoted by Mamar:
"Ice Hockey is a Mini-Game competition."
"Teams of three, including the goalie, bump and crash all over the rink!"
"To win, just score as often as you can within the time limit!"
"The team that scores the most goals within the time limit wins!"
"Oh! The goalie will play according to your strategy."
"Are you more offensive or defensive? You decide!"
While playing, the player uses the 
to move, the 
button to attempt to pass or steal the puck, the 
button to make a Strong Shot or a Body Check, and the 
button to shoot a weak shot.
After reading the instructions, the player can choose the four characters that will play (Shy Guys will act as goalies), choose teams and computer difficulty levels, and set the time limit for the match (60 seconds, 3 minutes, or 5 minutes). Then the game gets underway with an opening face-off in the middle of the rink and lasts until time expires, at which point the team with the most goals will be declared the winner, or if the scores are equal, the match will be declared a draw.
