Triple Jump (minigame)
- This article is about the minigame. For for other uses of the term "Triple Jump", see Triple Jump (disambiguation).
Template:Minigame-infobox Triple Jump is a 4-player minigame found in Mario Party 5, and returns in Mario Party: The Top 100. The minigame takes place in the sky with the classic Mario foes at every signpost and a Super Mario Bros.-esque background.
Gameplay
The players attempt to jump the farthest by making a triple jump. For the first jump, the players must press the 
button rapidly, so their character will float farther. Once their character touches the ground, the players must press 
rapidly for the same effect. For the third jump, the players must press rapidly once more. Each jump takes the player a farther distance from the last. To win, one of the players must have the highest distance.
This minigame appears as the last minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon. Here, the player's objective is to jump as far as possible before hitting the ground a third time to earn as much points as possible, up to a maximum of 1,000. The default record for this minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon is 28 metres/84 yards.
