Speeding Bullets

Speeding Bullets is a Free-for-All minigame featured in Mario Party 9. The name is probably inspired by the Superman phrase "faster than a speeding bullet".

Introduction
The camera follows the captain as they pass over a speed boost, then splits to show all players.

Gameplay
Players try to be the first to reach the finish line. Along the way, they will encounter speed boosts, which increase their speed meter by one, and Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes, which decrease their speed to one. The faster the player is going, the bigger each movement will be.

The bonus objective for this minigame in Time Attack mode involves passing over each dash zone.

Trivia

 * The gameplay is very similar to that of Canyon Cruisers and Lean, Mean Ravine, both from Mario Party 8.
 * The music that plays during the game, entitled "Freshen Up!", is slight remix of the original Super Mario Bros. theme.
