Hanger Management

Hanger Management is a 2-vs.-2 players and Duel minigame in Mario Party DS. The name is a pun on "anger management" and "hanger". Despite not being a 4-player minigame, this minigame appears on Score Scuffle as the second to last minigame; it is the only minigame to appear in Score Scuffle that is not a 4-player minigame.

Gameplay
The players hang on hangers and have to move them along a wire to the end while avoiding various objects (they are marked with a '!' icon). If the players hit an object, they will slow down. The player can go faster by balancing the weight of the hanger. The first player or team to get to the finish line wins, and if both players or teams reach the finish line at the same time or if five minutes pass, the minigame is considered a tie. In Score Scuffle, the minigame ends once all players finish.

Note: If both players get the same score in the Duel variant that breaks the current record, it counts as a New Record even though no one won as it will say Tie after the New Record fanfare. This also applies to the other Duel minigames with a record system, such as Rail Riders, Hot Shots, Get the Lead Out, Twist and Route, Pedal Pushers, Raft Riot, Study Fall, Hedge Honcho. Domino Effect, Cherry-Go-Round, Roller Coasters and Twist and Route.
