Slot-Car Derby

Slot Car Derby is a minigame in both Mario Party and Mario Party 2.

Gameplay
The controls are not overall considered difficult, but it is difficult to maintain a position. At the starting line, if a player holds the Control Stick when it says "go", the player will be penalized for five seconds. If the driver goes too fast, he or she will start to spin. The first player to reach the goal wins.

In Mario Party, there are two tracks with one being shorter and having less complex turns than the other. However, the game tracks the best times for the minigame as though they were the same track.

In both games, if a player stands still and another player rams into them, that player is out.
