Coin Cache is a 4-Player coin-collecting minigame found in Mario Party 5.

Overview

The opening shows the four players exiting Peach's Castle in the background and going to the stage.

Players try to collect as many coins as they can by breaking and jumping from Brick Blocks on three rows going from left to right. They can also be used as platforms to reach higher blocks. Brick Blocks that contain nothing are destroyed when hit. Brick Blocks that contain a single coin transform into Empty Blocks when hit. Brick Blocks that contain multiple coins can be hit until they are empty, turning into Empty Blocks. The three rows of blocks stop moving occasionally and start moving in the opposite direction a few seconds later. If players step off one side of the screen, they will appear on the other side. Players can also jump on their opponents to decrease their jump height temporarily. Despite what the rules state, all the players win the minigame as long as they collect at least one coin.

In the ending, players perform their victory animations, but player who did not get any coins do their losing animation.
