Rope a Dope

Rope a Dope is an 8-player minigame in Mario Party 7 that requires two players from each team to walk across a narrow and jaggedly-shaped path. The two players are on mirrored paths while tethered together with a rope. Each player must stop momentarily while the other walks along his or her path to loosen the rope; The other player then walks across the mirrored version of the path trying to loosen the tension of the rope between the two characters. When the mirrored paths are close together, both players can run quickly until the next awkward path arrives. If the rope stretches too far, both players will fall into the darkness.

The minigame's name comes from Rope-a-dope, a technique used in boxing.
