Storm Chasers is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 3 and a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars .
Overview[edit ]
Each player holds a potted Piranha Plant and goes after a rain cloud, trying to water theirs.[1] [2] [3] The rain clouds resemble Lakitu's Clouds more closely in later versions. About partway through, Monty Moles pop out of holes, briefly stunning a player on contact. The player who has watered their Piranha Plant the most wins. In The Top 100 and Superstars, there are now colored sparkles to indicate which player received rain from the cloud (red for Player 1, blue for Player 2, green for Player 3, and yellow for Player 4).
