Wingin' It is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 7.
Overview
Two players jump into a large Colossal Koopa Paratroopa-like aircraft. The screen splits into two to show the other team, and gameplay begins.
In this minigame, both teams of players must tap the 
button repeatedly to flap the wings of their aircraft higher than the other team. The team that flew their vehicle the highest within ten seconds wins the minigame. If both teams get the same distance, the minigame ends in a tie.
As an added detail, Koopa Troopas, Shy Guys, and Goombas open the windows and wave from the building as the two teams ascend in front of it. Lastly, a Piranha Plant pops out of the chimney on top.
At the end of the minigame, the losing team's flying Koopa machine falls to the ground, breaking the machine and dizzying the team's members. Afterwards, the winning team's members celebrate in front of their machine, while the losing team's members perform their losing poses in front of their machine as it emits smoke. If the minigame ends in a tie, both machines fall and all players perform their losing poses.

Naming
