Thrash 'n' Crash

Thrash 'n' Crash is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party 8.

Introduction
The team players ride in on skateboards, while the solo player follows them in a flying vehicle.

Gameplay
The trio rides skateboards down a lane and must turn forward, backward, left, or right to move and avoid traps. The solo player, riding a flying vehicle behind the trio, activates traps by pointing at them on the screen and pressing or. The traps include tumbling barrels, Bullet Bills, and giant rolling wheels; walls and Whomps also act as obstacles. Players who run into traps and obstacles are eliminated. The solo player wins if they eliminate all the team players. The team players win if at least one of them survives for 30 seconds.

Ending
If the team players win, they ride under a bridge and the solo player stops on the bridge and you can see the solo player performing his/her lose animation and you see the team characters performing their second win animations. If the solo player wins, they float past the place the last team player got hit, leaving the trio behind, and performing his/her second win animations.

In-game text

 * Hint – "Looking for booby traps? Watch your cursor's color! On the run? Teamwork tip: Stay separated!"

Trivia

 * If any of the veteran playable characters wins, they will perform one of their second victory poses from the GameCube-era Mario Party games instead of the unused ones they received in this game. Mario and Luigi second animation is a mix of their first win animation of Mario Party 8 and their second win animation of the Gamecube-era Mario Parties, because the jump they do is the same jump they do in their first win animation in Mario Party 8 and the rest of their second win animation is their second win animation of the Gamecube-era Mario Parties. Blooper and Hammer Bro will perform a different victory pose as opposed to their normal ones. This is also the case in Surf's Way Up.
