Dizzy Dinghies

Dizzy Dinghies is a special minigame playable in Mario Party 3. It can be unlocked by having all sixty four minigames already opened. This is one of the three rare minigames in the game.

Gameplay
In this minigame, the solo player picks a vehicle to drive with and navigates through one of three available courses to try and get the fastest time. Hitting the wall by missing turns or steering too close to it slows the player down. Some of the courses have barely any turns while others have multiple twists. The type of vehicle the player picks also affects how they play, beneficially or otherwise.

Courses

 * Course 1 – Grassland themed; it doesn't have many turns. Toads, Goombas, and Koopas reside here.
 * Course 2 – Mountain/Ice themed; there are three major turns. Whomps and Bob-omb Buddies can be seen here.
 * Course 3 – Water themed; there are many turns and zigzags to follow. This course has a vast amount of Cheep Cheeps and Sushis.

Vehicles

 * "Speed Type" – Great speed but lacks traction.
 * "Non-Slip Type" – Great for turns but not very fast.
 * "Normal Type" – Moderate speed and grip on track.

Controls

 * – Steer
 * – Race
