Merry Poppings is a Duel minigame found in Mario Party 5. Its name is a pun on the name of the fictional character Mary Poppins.
Overview[edit]
The two dueling characters are suspended in the sky by the strings of 30 balloons. Each player is given a blowgun; by pressing 
and 
simultaneously, the characters can shoot their blowguns as fast as they can to pop each other's balloons. The first player to pop all 30 of their adversary's balloons wins. If five minutes pass before either player is eliminated, the minigame ends in a draw.
When the losing player runs out of balloons, they yell and fall through the clouds. The winner then waves at the camera. However, if five minutes pass, all balloons of both players detach.
