Sprinkler Scalers

Sprinkler Scalers is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party DS.

Gameplay
Two teams are in a pipe (with obstacles) and must reach the end by pressing the same buttons.

When both press the button, they will move up. When both press the button, they will rotate the pipe right. When both press the button, they will rotate the pipe left. This gets the obstacles such as bolts out of the team's way. The first team who reaches the end wins. If both teams reach the goal at the same time or if five minutes pass, the minigame is considered a tie.

Ending
The winning team will be in front of the sprinkler doing their victory poses as the sprinkler shoots out water while spinning. However, if both teams reach the finish at the same time of if five minutes pass, nothing else will happen as "Tie" appears on the screen.

Controls

 * – Climb up
 * – Rotate right
