'''Gyro for the Gold''' ('''Rolling Racer''' in the British English version) is a General [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. The American English name is a pun on the phrase "go for the gold." This minigame controls similarly to the [[Star Ball]] sections in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|sequel]]. Besides the similar gameplay, the music is covered in this minigame and it speeds up or slows down depending on the movements made.

The camera shows the goal (a castle rooftop with four [[Goal Pole]]s), then scrolls backwards to the competitors, showing the obstacles in the process.

Players are on balls, which they must roll to the finish line, passing through the obstacle course. The [[Nintendo 3DS]] gyro sensor is used to roll the ball, hence the game's American name.

Soon after the starting line, a [[ramp]] sends the players to a green platform filled with [[mushroom]]s that keep appearing and disappearing. If a character touches one, they will bounce back. Following a second ramp, there is a grayish platform where blue [[Brick Block]]s fall onto. They cannot be broken, so competitors must bypass them. The final area is a set of [[Chain-Link|fence]]s and two [[elevator]]s that move side to side. If a player falls off, they will respawn at the start of the final area. A blue ramp launches the player directly onto their respective finish spot.

This game is also available in Time Attack as the fifth minigame. The bonus objective can be completed by not falling off the course.
