Ridiculous Relay

Ridiculous Relay is a 1-vs-3 minigame found in Mario Party 3.

Gameplay
Three players have to outrace the other player by using different vehicles while the other player uses a hang-glider to outrace them. The player that is using the hang-glider has to dodge winged Goombas and Banzai Bills on the way; hitting any slows the player down. For the team of three, the first player rows a shell with an oar, the next player has a water bug-type vehicle and must get all four legs in position to glide across the water, and the last player drives in a motorboat that resembles a Banzai Bill. For each vehicle, the player controlling it must input the correct button or sequence of buttons in order to advance. There are also Thwomps at the beginning of the latter vehicle segments that must be dodged. The team that makes it to the end first wins.
