Tackle Takedown

Tackle Takedown is a 1-vs.-Rivals minigame featured in Mario Party 9, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.

Introduction
The screen shows the rivals standing by a football. One of the rivals kicks it into the air. The camera zooms out as the solo player catches the football.

Gameplay
The solo player attempts to reach the goal line without being tackled by a rival. The solo player has either three or two speed boosts for outrunning the rivals, depending on the number of opponents. If rivals tackle and miss, they fall and lose some time. The rivals win if one of them successfully tackles the solo player or if time runs out.

Ending
If the solo player is victorious, they will spike the football and, in Mario Party 9, strike a victory pose while the rivals groan.
