Slot-Car Derby

Slot Car Derby is a minigame in both Mario Party and Mario Party 2. It is also included in Mario Party: The Top 100, in its Mario Party 2 form.

Gameplay
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, which has a similar shape to Luigi Raceway. In Mario Party 2, there are three tracks: the first one is bean-shaped, the second one C-shaped, and the third one is cloverleaf-styled.

In Mario Party, the minigame will end in a draw if no players have reached the goal within 2 minutes. In all games, if a player is overlapped by another player, that player will be rammed into, eliminating them.

Controls

 * (Push) – Speed up
 * (Let Go) – slow down

Mario Party

 * Game Rules – "Push the control stick lightly, and drive your Slot Car to the finish line. If you go too fast, you'll spin out in the corners."
 * Advice – "Smoking tires is a sure sign of going too fast. If you don't slow down, you'll definitely spin out."

Mario Party 2

 * Game Rules – "The first one to complete 4 laps in the Slot Car Derby wins! Don't spin out by speeding around curves!"
 * Game Rules (Mini-Game Coaster) – "It's a 4-lap Slot Car Derby! Be the first to cross the finish line to clear the game."
 * Advice – "Tilt your Control Stick as far as you can on straightaways for max speed!"

Trivia

 * In Mini-Game Coaster, the version that is played depends on the difficulty: On Easy, the bean-shaped version is used. On Normal, the C-shaped version is used. On Hard, the cloverleaf-style version is used.
