Rowdy Raft
Rowdy Raft is a court in the party game Smash Skate from Mario Sports Mix. Like Sherbet Sea and Fire Mountain, this court is exclusive to the party game.
Rowdy Raft is a circular-shaped wooden raft with a hole in the middle that has barriers along the outside of it. The only way to get opponents out is by hitting them into the hole. This can be achieved if players hit opponents with super shots and they either fall directly into the center hole or they bounce off the barrier and then fall into the hole. If a player checks into a barrier, they will bounce off and potentially teeter on the ledge if they touch the ledge. While bouncing from the barrier, they can potentially push an opponent into the hole and earn points. Due to the design of the stage, players struck by super shots may bounce off barriers or other players can push them away from the hole, but they recover and not ring out unlike other stages. They have lag, however, and simple checks may push them off the stage; whoever pushes them off with the check earns the point, versus the player that initially struck them with a super shot.
There is a harder version of this court, which can be unlocked by playing in this stage 20 times. Instead of barriers along the outside of the arena, there are barriers surrounding the hole in the middle and four triangular shaped barriers along the outside. The barriers make it more difficult to ring out players without first forcing them on a ledge with a check. Players that strike the interior barriers with check may easily lose control as the proximity of the barriers force them to constantly bounce off of them. The raft will also occasionally tilt to one side, making it harder for players to control their movements.
