Bobsled Run

Bobsled Run is a 2 vs 2 minigame in Mario Party and Mario Party 2. The minigame seems to be based off of the Penguin race in Cool, Cool Mountain from Super Mario 64 as the bobsleds are modeled after penguins in the second game of the Mario Party series. However, in the first game they are normal sleds with the first team's with a Star front end and the second team's with a Mushroom front end.

Gameplay
The game splits the four players into two teams, each one getting their own bobsled. They must steer their way through a track down to the finish, hitting three speed boosts along the way.

In the Mario Party 2 version there are less guardrails, so it's easier to fall (or get pushed by an opponent) off and into oblivion than it is in Mario Party. The first team to reach the finish line is the winner. The mini-game can be purchased for 100 coins.
