Leaf Leap is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 5, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars. It is also the first part of the Showdown minigame Mario's Three-peat in Super Mario Party Jamboree.

Overview[edit]

Mario's Three-peat
Gameplay in Super Mario Party Jamboree

The minigame opens with a scene of a bean dropping into the dirt, which grows into a beanstalk with one leaf. In Super Mario Party Jamboree, the characters walk up to their own dirt patch that suddenly sprouts a beanstalk.

In gameplay, players must jump from leaf to leaf to climb the highest on the beanstalk. If players fail to land on a leaf after jumping and changing sides, they fall down to the nearest leaf below. An orange leaf indicates where the record is set. After the timer expires, the screen starts from the ground and scrolls up to count the height. Any player who climbed the highest wins. Then, the players do their corresponding winning or losing poses, depending on their ranking.

Only in Mario Party 5, a silhouette of Mario's head makes a cameo as a crater on the moon, visible if the player reaches 165 yards/metres. However, in the PAL version, the 50hz slowdown makes this height impossible to reach.[1]

In both Mario Party 5 and The Top 100, this minigame appears as the fourth minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon. Here, the player's objective is to climb as high as possible within the time limit to earn as many points as possible, up to 1,000. The default record for this minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon is 120 yards/metres in Mario Party 5 and 50 yards/metres in The Top 100.

In Mario Party Superstars, it is impossible for one side to have more than three leaves in a row.

After the score is tallied in Super Mario Party Jamboree, the players climb up to the next event of the Showdown minigame, Bumper Balls.
