ID UFO is a 2-vs.-2minigame fromMario Party 5.

Introduction[edit]

AUFO startles the red team members, and it quickly flies off into space. While the red team turns to face the screen, the screen splits and shows both teams.

Gameplay[edit]

There are two sets of UFO pairs, one for each team. Each team mustground-pound two of the nine UFO panels simultaneously within a time window to match the UFO pair outside. When a panel is triggered, color and sound effects indicate whenever a player has a correct match or not. Once a team correctly matches its UFO pair, the pair flies away and a new pair appears. The team that matches five UFO pairs before the other team wins the minigame. If time runs out before five UFO pairs are matched, the team that matched more pairs wins. However, if both teams matched the same number of pairs when time runs out, the minigame ends in a draw.

While all the UFOs' designs are unique, most share a few characteristics designed to confuse the player into guessing the wrong panel.
