StratosFEAR! is a 1-vs.-3 Mic minigame in Mario Party 7.
Opening[]
A Mushroom Platform rises to the center, and a Bullet Bill travels toward it. Each of the team players jump to dodge the Bullet Bill, and the third one defeats it.
Layout[]
The minigame takes place on a red Mushroom Platform with white spots located just above the clouds. The three team members are all on on the Mushroom Platform while the solo character in on the left side in the nearby distance.
The background features two Goombas jumping up and down on a light green Mushroom Platform with green spots while two red Koopa Paratroopas fly back and forth between a cloud platform and a ? Block. A few Brick Blocks are above the Goombas, and on the left is a yellow-capped Mushroom Platform with a few Brick Blocks and ? Blocks, both designed after their appearance from Super Mario All-Stars. A few green Warp Pipes also appear in the background, along with a few more yellow-capped as well as light green-capped Mushroom Platforms.
Gameplay[]
With the Nintendo GameCube Microphone, the solo character has to move the Mushroom Platform with the voice commands "Move up" and "Move down." If the Mic option is off, these commands are selected from a blue box instead. Meanwhile, the team characters have to dodge any incoming Bullet Bills headed their way. Alternatively, a team member can even jump onto a Bullet Bill to defeat it. The solo character wins if every team member is taken out by a Bullet Bill, whereas the team members win if at least one of them remains by the end of the 30-second time limit.
Ending[]
The camera zooms in on the winning side, then they perform their victory animation. If the solo character wins, their cloud moves to the center before they do their animation, but if the team wins, any remaining teammates perform their respective victory animation.
