History VideoGame / MarioParty5

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The minigame Pop-Star Piranhas has all the characters witness a pop dance performed by five Piranha Plants, each having come into the stage from Warp Pipes. In each round, all Piranha Plants are dancing in the same style and at the same speed... except for one which is dancing differently in either criterion or even both. The objective is to figure out which Piranha Plant is dancing differently and pinpoint it by pressing the button that is marked onto its associated pipe. After three rounds, the character who makes the most guesses wins.

* UselessUsefulSpell: The miracle capsules. If the requirements are fulfilled, it takes away all of the stars of whoever's in first place and gives them to whoever's in last place. Unfortunately, meeting these requirements are almost impossible. The miracle capsule itself is a very rare capsule to get, and to activate its effect, a player will need three of them, taking up their entire capsule space, so odds are, the game will be done before you collect enough of them. To make matters worse, since it gives the stars to the last place player regardless of who collects the capsules, there's no guarantee that collecting them will help you. More often than not, it's just wasting space.

* DropTheHammer: In the minigame Manic Mallets, two teams of characters use mallets to rapidly press a color-coded pad to make a large background mallet erect from the ground. After 10 seconds, whichever pair pressed their pad the most times will make the mallet squash the other pair, winning the minigame. In the unlikely event the combined total of presses from a team matches that of the other, the minigame will end in a tie.
