Alpine Assault

Alpine Assault is a 4-Player minigame and a single-player minigame in Test for the Best in Mario Party 8. This minigame is similar to Snow Ride from Mario Party 7.

Introduction
The four players (or one person) will be on snowboard(s), behind the gate, ready to go.

Gameplay
The objective is to get down the hill first. The player controls themselves by turning the Wii Remote. On ramps, if the player presses / and turn, then when they land, they get a boost of speed. There are obstacles along the way, such as Mr. Blizzards, that can get in the way while going down. The player who crosses the finish line first wins.

Ending
All four players are at the bottom, the winner standing slightly in front of the others, with their boards standing in the snow. The victor does the victory dance.

Test for the Best
