The mini-game Manic Mallets.

Manic Mallets is a button-mashing, 2 vs. 2 mini-game in Mario Party 5.

In this mini-game, the player 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 will start rotating towards 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 mini-game 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.

In-Game Instructions

Hit the switch with a hammer. The team that hits it the most times wins.

Advice
The giant hammer in the background will point to the team that has the lower number of hits.

Trivia

• If both teams hit the switches the same number of times, the game will be a draw. Also note that the hammer will turn sideways and squish both of the teams at the end.
