Leaf Leap is a recurring 4-player minigame in the Mario Party series. It first appears in Mario Party 5 and returns in Mario Party: The Top 100, Mario Party Superstars and Super Mario Party Jamboree.
Gameplay
The characters will be required to jump on a beanstalk that leads towards the sky. They will ascend the beanstalk by jumping from leaf to leaf. The leaves on the beanstalk will either appear above the characters' head or the opposite side of the beanstalk. The characters will have to pay attention in what direction the leaf will appear on the beanstalk. If the leaf appears on the opposite of the beanstalk and the character jumps up, they will lose some time. Likewise, if a leaf is located above the characters head but they decide to jump in the opposite direction, they will fall down to the opposite leaf and lose time. Along the way, the characters will be able to view scenery changes and other Mario characters like Paratroopa. For each leaf the character jumps on, they will gain three yards. The character that cover the most yards at the end of thirty seconds will win the mini-game.
In Mario Party: The Top 100, Leaf Leap plays a rearranged version of the Mario Party 7 theme "Fun in the Sun." In Mario Party Superstars, this was changed back to "Move Happily," like in Mario Party 5.

Trivia
- What Goes Up... from Mario Party 6 has very similar gameplay to this minigame as both minigames involve racing to the top faster than your opponents with the use of a particular platform, (Beanstalk leaves for Leaf Leap and Paratroopas for What Goes Up...), what's more is both minigames return in Mario Party Superstars.
