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?" If this minigame is beaten in 45 seconds, the Present Room will get a Koopa plate added to it.
Introduction[edit]
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[edit]
Teams are divided into two boats that resemble Dorrie. The object of the minigame is to reach the end of a long tunnel by using the paddles. Along the way, players must avoid obstacles such as stalagmites and fire-breathing Bowser Statues. The first team to reach the end wins. If neither team does so in five minutes, the minigame ends in a draw.
Ending[edit]
The scene switches to the outside of the cave; the winning team rows toward the camera and celebrates. The other team is not seen. If the minigame ends in a draw, the boats stop.
