Scooter Pursuit

Scooter Pursuit is a 4-Player minigame that is found in Mario Party 8. The gameplay is similar to the Mario Party 6 minigame Cannonball Fun, except with different mechanics.

Introduction
At the beginning of the minigame, the audiences are cheering because the players are attempting to attack each other. Then the two players at each side of the play-field come in as the border opens up. All the players that come in go onto their positions, and then the minigame starts.

Gameplay
The players are in these scooters and are here to battle to other players.

The players attempt to gain points by simply shooting hyper cannonballs at other players in the play-field. Additionally, the players have their own color of their hyper cannonballs to shoot. When the players get hit by another player, the player is stunned at the moment as the other player cannot shoot hyper cannonballs for a moment.

The play-field is just a square field that has a single obstacle; a circular platform that simply blocks the players from shooting directly at other players at the beginning of the minigame.

The player who has the most points at the end of the minigame wins.

Ending
At the end of the minigame, the audience is cheering wildly to the winning player. The player appears to be out from the scooter; the player wins and attempts to do a winning pose while the other players out from the scooters are sad as they lost.
