Button Mashers is a Duel Mini-game found in Mario Party 5.
Two players try to avoid getting crushed by the blocks falling from the sky. To do so, they must quickly and simultaneously press every button shown on each of the blocks they are carrying. If both players survive for a few seconds, another block will fall, requiring the players to press two buttons simultaneously. If both still survive, another block will fall, making a total of three, then four, and finally five.
If at any time a player fails to press their button(s) quickly enough, their character gets crushed which results the announcer to say "Finish!" and their opponent wins.
