Later Skater

Later Skater is a 4-player minigame found in Mario Party 5 and Mario Party: The Top 100. Its name is a pun on the phrase "Later, gator".

Gameplay
Players attempt to complete five laps by skating around the ice rink. Players have to be careful not to hit the side or the center of the ice rink or they will slow down. The first player who makes five laps wins, and a new record may be set by any human player, as long as the time taken is faster than the previous record.

This minigame appears as the second to last minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon. Here, the player's objective is to finish five laps as fast as possible to earn as much points as possible, up to a maximum of 1,000. The default record for this minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon is 40"00. The minigame ends once all players finish, or 01'30"00 passes.
