Line in the Sand is a 1-vs.-Rivals minigame featured in Mario Party 9. The name is a play on the phrase "line in the sand," meaning a point of stopping.
Introduction[edit]
The rivals run into the sand pen, chased by the solo player. The solo player stops at the grassy area, and the camera focuses on the sand pen.
Gameplay[edit]
 Another screenshot of Line in the Sand The solo player attempts to eliminate all other players by drawing lines in the sand around them. If a complete shape is made, it darkens slightly, and any players inside its perimeter jump and are eliminated. If a player draws a line too long without connecting it, the beginning of the line is erased. If the solo player eliminates all three rivals within 30 seconds, the solo player is victorious. If at least one rival remains after 30 seconds is up, the rivals are victorious.
