Buzzstormer is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 7. It takes place in an oversized meadow.

Overview[edit]

In this minigame, both teams of players are in large bee-like aircraft and need to get through a forest of large dandelions. Hitting a dandelion's stem paralyzes a team's aircraft for a few seconds, giving the other team a chance to get ahead. The first team to get to the end of the dandelions is greeted by a large cliff and an open field and wins the minigame. If five minutes pass without either side crossing the finish line, the minigame ends in a tie. If a player character is paired with a CPU partner, the CPU partner mimics the player's movements.

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Move left and right to avoid the dandelions."
  • Advice"Move Control Stick in the same direction as your partner to make the bee tilt more."

Naming[edit]

"Buzzstormer" is possibly a pun on "brainstormer" or "barnstormer".
