Motor Rooter

Template:Minigame-infobox Motor Rooter is a Duel minigame found in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Superstars. The name is a pun on "Roto-Rooter."

Gameplay

Players attempt to reach the goal by racing with Koopa Shell-like hovercrafts in pipes. The players can move all around the inside of the pipes. On the way, there are acceleration panels shaped like red arrows that make the player speed up. There are also Amps that are indicated by lightning bolts on the central map. Their shock waves cover all but two of eight spaces the player can be riding on. If the player gets shocked, they are stunned and their speed suddenly decreases. The first player who reaches the goal wins. If neither player reaches the goal within the time limit, the minigame ends in a draw.

In Mario Party Superstars, the mini-game has a more futuristic appearance. Additionally, characters vocalise every time they move, speed up, or are shocked.
