Template:Minigame-infobox Manic Mallets is a 2 vs. 2 minigame in Mario Party 5. Button mashing is required to win. It returns in Mario Party: The Top 100.

Introduction

Both teams hit their buttons once. A giant mallet then raises out of the sand behind them.

Gameplay

In this minigame, players must avoid being crushed by a giant hammer by hitting a small switch as fast as possible with a smaller hammer. The giant hammer rises from the ground at the beginning of the game, where it shows all players pushing the switches. The giant hammer starts rotating toward whichever team is hitting their switches fewer times. The team of players that pushes the button the most times in ten seconds is the winner, and the losing team is then crushed by the hammer.

The background of the minigame shows several other giant hammers of different colors in a field, with a blue sky and sun. There are also several faceless clouds floating in the sky. The players and the giant hammer are on sand, however, and the giant hammer appears to be made of stone.

Ending

The giant mallet falls over and crushes the team that hit the buttons fewer times. If both teams hit the switches the same number of times, the mallet turns sideways and squashes both teams.
