T Minus Five is a Duel mini-game in Mario Party 6.
Opening[]
Each character is teleported to the first space on their respective side.
Gameplay[]
Each character has to try to ground-pound the space they are on when it turns green. If done successfully, the character is teleported to the next space, which repeats the process, except the green light moves faster. If a character accidentally ground-pounds on a yellow space, the player is electrified temporarily. The first character to ground-pound on the fifth and final space wins.
Ending[]
The winner teleports next to the rocket, which opens its door. They enter the door, which then closes as the rocket takes off. In the following scene, the winner performs their victory animation from inside the rocket while the losing character can be seen flying through space.
Controls[]
: Jump- (in midair): Ground-pound
Flavor text[]
- Rules: Ground-pound at the moment the panel beneath you flashes to warp to the next panel. Whoever reaches the goal first wins!
- Advice: The flash will be quicker each time you warp. Mistakes will cost you precious time!
Trivia[]
- The minigame's name is a pun on a phrase used for the countdown of a rocket launch.
