Snow Ride is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 7.
Overview[edit]
During the introduction, the camera quickly shows a small portion of the course before focusing on the players.
During gameplay, the characters ride on snowboards and have to navigate through gates through low walls that alternate from side to side. Players are provided less time to move in the later sections of the minigame, due to the placement of the gates being closer together. There are also Warp Pipes that serve as obstacles on the center of the path occasionally. The first player to reach the finish wins. If no one reaches the goal within five minutes, the result is a tie.
At the end of the minigame, the four players appear on a podium, with the winner's place raised above the rest. The winner and losers do their respective animations. Cheering Koopa Troopas and Goombas can be seen around the players and on the bleachers behind the podium. If no one reaches the goal within five minutes, the result is a tie.
This minigame is also available in Decathlon Castle, where the goal is to finish as quickly as possible, for up to 1,000 points.
The staff record for Snow Ride is 26"51 in the NTSC version and 31"26 in the PAL version.
