Right Oar Left? is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 4. Its name is a pun on the common query, "right or left?"

Introduction

The screen is split into two for each team. On each side, both teams paddle a Dorrie boat through the tunnel. The camera focuses behind them and the game begins.

Gameplay

Teams are divided into two boats that resemble Dorrie. The object of the game is to reach the end of a long tunnel by using the paddles. Along the way, players must avoid obstacles like stalagmites and fire-breathing Bowser statues. The first team to reach the end wins. If beaten in 45 seconds, the Minigame Room will get a Koopa Plate added to it.

Ending

The scene switches to the outside of the cave; the winning team rows toward the camera and they do winning poses. The other team is not seen.
