Rockin' Raceway is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 3, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.

Overview[edit]

Luigi loses by doing absolutely nothing in Rockin' Raceway in Mario Party Superstars.
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

Players sit on rocking horses to race around an oval-shaped track. Players each have stamina meters measured by carrots, so if a player's runs out, they move very slowly until their meter refills. There are orange carrots that increase the user's speed briefly, whilst blue carrots decrease it. The first player to reach the end wins, but if no one makes it within three minutes, it is a draw.

If a close victory occurs, the race is followed by a slow-motion instant replay; in Superstars, the replay ends with a photo finish.

It is the fifth minigame in Decathlon of Mario Party: The Top 100.

Notes[edit]

  • The carrot meter is based on the horse-riding speed boost meter from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.[citation needed]
  • In Mario Party 3, this mini-game is internally grouped with the Battle mini-games, suggesting it was originally meant to be a Battle minigame and got (replaced by another one and) recategorized.[citation needed]
