Trace Race

Trace Race is a battle minigame in Mario Party 4. It returns in Mario Party: The Top 100.

Introduction
The camera zooms in on the beginning of a giant clipboard, as each player jumps in one by one, holding a giant crayon.

Gameplay
Players each have a giant crayon and a long path that they must trace. The path winds with a series of turns, curves and loops. Players score points based on their accuracy. The most accurate player at the path's end wins, unless no one scores at least 30 points, in which it is a tie.

In Mario Party 4, each crayon and path is colored according to the character, with a relevant symbol at the beginning of the path. In The Top 100, the standard player colors are used, with the symbol always being a mushroom.

Ending
As soon as all four players reached the end of the track, the screen shows their traces from beginning to end, calculating who was most accurate. The winning player(s) will do their victory animation, while the other players do their losing animations.
