Domino Effect

Domino Effect is a 4-player and duel minigame found during the events in Mario Party DS. It is also the second minigame of Score Scuffle.

Gameplay
Players compete through a row of planks that fall gradually one behind other (as a "domino effect", thus giving the minigame its name). Contestants must jump over each plank, pressing the respective button that the plank means.

If the player fell off with planks knocking, they will be out of the rest of the minigame. The player who arrives to the finish at first is the winner. If the player pushed the wrong button, the player would be stopped for a few seconds until they could start hopping again. If all the players fell off with the planks knocking or if both players arrived to the finish at the same time in the Duel variant, they all lose and it will result in a tie.

If both players get the same score in the Duel variant that breaks the current record, it counts as a new record even though no one won, as it will say "Tie" after the "New Record" fanfare. This also applies to the other Duel minigames with a record system.
