Gimme a Brake is an 8-Player minigame in Mario Party 7.
Overview[edit]
The eight players ride scooters from the top of a hill down to a mud pit, attempting to stop the closest to the mud pit without landing on it. The sunny weather is sometimes substituted by rain, requiring players to stop earlier than if it is sunny, or snow, which produces ice, requiring players to stop even earlier. Any team with a member closest to the mud pit wins. In the event that either every player falls into the mud pit or every team has at least one member stop the same distance from it, the result is a tie.
Controls[edit]

– Brake
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – "Stop your scooter closest to the course's edge by hitting the breaks[sic] at just the right moment."
- Advice – "The scooter slows at different rates based on the weather. Time it carefully...and don't fall in the mud!"
Naming[edit]
The minigame's name combines the phrase "gimme a break" with brakes used to stop vehicles.
