Overview[edit]

Players wind up their Mecha Fly Guys as quickly as possible within a time limit before the Mecha Fly Guy flies down each player's lane. There are signs marking their progress every ten yards. The Mecha Fly Guys eventually fall, who coud. The player that has their Mecha Fly Guy land the farthest wins, an objective retained in the Mini-Game Coaster.
It costs 200 Coins to buy the minigame from Woody in Mario Party 2.
The highest possible score in Mario Party: The Top 100 is 40.00 yards/meters,[1] while in Mario Party Superstars, it is 70.00 yards/meters.[2]
