Banana Punch is a mini-game that appears in Mario Party 5.

Gameplay[]

The goal for this mini-game is to collect the most bananas than any other player by destroying the barrels before the time limit runs out or if there are no barrels seen in-game anymore. The player must punch the barrels in order to break them to get a banana, which awards a single point, or a big banana, which awards 5 bananas. The player with the most points after the mini-game is over will win.
