Random Ride

Random Ride is a mini-game found in Mario Party 5.

This game is mostly luck-based. Each player has to pick a name from a list of competitors for a race. Generally, the better a machine's name, the better the chance that player will win the race. Also, players pick their machine in a random order, leaving players choosing early with an advantage, and vice versa.

After everyone has chosen their machine, the players race. There is nothing players can do at this point; it is all up to chance. Players get eliminated throughout the race through various misfortunes, such as engine blowouts or collisions with Bullet Bills. Eventually, one player is left; that player is declared the winner.

Some examples of names for the machines include:


 * General Long Shot
 * Totally Terrible
 * At Its Best
 * Nothing's Right
 * Fate's Decision
 * Perfect Conditions
 * Miracles Do Happen
 * Daily Routine
 * Almost-Guaranteed Victory
 * So-So, I Suppose
 * Feeling Good
 * Difficulties Ahead
