Pedal Pushers

Pedal Pushers is a 4-Player and Duel racing minigame found in Mario Party DS. This minigame also appears in Score Scuffle as the eighth minigame in the set.

Gameplay
Players drive on remote-control karts in a toy racetrack, completing the minigame for coming to the finish line at first place in a lap. To make the karts work, players must press a pair of pedals alternately or simultaneously to go faster, or else the karts will not move. To push each of the pedals, players must push the arrows and the letter buttons. Some ice slicks appear on the track's curves, therefore players must press slowly to avoid spinning out and losing time. The player who crosses the finish line first wins. If five minutes pass without anyone reaching the finish line or if both players reach the finish line at the same time in the Duel variant, the game ends in a tie. In Score Scuffle, the minigame ends once all players cross the finish line.

If both players get the same score in the Duel variant that breaks the current record, it counts as a new record even though neither player won, as the screen will say "Tie" after the "New Record" fanfare. This also applies to the other Duel minigames with a record system.

Controls
