Rotation Station

Rotation Station is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 8. It is also featured in Test for the Best.

Introduction
The camera faces upward, showing most of the castle-like obstacle course above, before panning downward to show a set of red doors, through which the first player enters. The first player runs to the center of the room before the screen splits to show both players and the minigame begins.

Gameplay
Two players go against each other to see who can climb up to the top of a castle first. They must climb floating blocks and moving platforms and "rotate" the screen to see where they are going; the players' view is often obscured by some platforms. Whoever lands on the finishing platform first is the winner. If five minutes pass, the minigame ends in a tie.

Ending
The winner stands on top of the course and does a victory pose, and then confetti pours down. If the minigame ends in a tie, the players do their losing poses.
