Chicken Race is a 2-player minigame event found in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. It is unlocked after beating two of Dribble, Mona, and 9-Volt's Sci-Fi, Strange and Nintendo stages, respectively.

Gameplay[edit]

9-Volt and Shag are on a bumpy cliff on their skateboards with two feet behind them. The players must hold down the L Button and R Button buttons and release so that neither player goes over the edge.

The player that is closest to the edge wins. The other player wins if one of the players overshoots and falls off the cliff.

If both players fall off or have the same number of inches left, the round results in a draw.

If a player gets three stars, they win the game.

Naming[edit]

The minigame is named after "chicken" (also "game of chicken" or "chicken race"), a game of dare in which two people in cars are driving towards each other, with the loser being the one yielding first (i.e. the "chicken", in which case means "coward"). The minigame's name is shared with a Gaddget of the same name in Mario Party Advance.
