Bobsled Run is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party, Mario Party 2, and Mario Party Superstars.
Overview[edit]
Both teams do a bobsled race to the bottom of an icy track. Three speed boosts are found along the way; in Mario Party 2, one of them is on an optional path. If a team falls off the track, that team is disqualified from the minigame. The Mario Party 2 version has fewer guardrails. The team that makes it to the end first wins. The minigame is a draw if either both teams are disqualified or neither team reaches the end goal by five minutes in Mario Party and Mario Party 2 or three minutes in Mario Party Superstars.
After a team wins, if the losing team makes it to the end, that team either slams into a wall in Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars, or flies off a cliff in Mario Party 2. It is possible to stop short of hitting the wall or flying off at the end if the bobsled is slow enough.
Bobsled Run costs 200 coins to buy at the Mini-Game House in Mario Party and 100 coins from Woody in Mario Party 2.

Notes[edit]
- Bobsled Run is similar to the Big Penguin race on Cool, Cool Mountain from Super Mario 64, especially because the bobsleds look like penguins in Mario Party 2. The bobsleds bear theming to the Super Mario franchise in Mario Party, where the blue team's bobsled has a Mushroom symbol and the red team's has a Star symbol, and Mario Party Superstars, where both have spotted Mushroom-like patterns.
