Minecart Mayhem

Minecart Mayhem is a Bonus Stage found in the game Donkey Kong 64.

After the player jumps in the Bonus Barrel, they can play this game to try and win a Golden Banana. In this minigame, the player will need to avoid hitting any TNT cart while moving in a minecart on the stage. The stage is formed of four tracks, each two connected with two conjunctions. The TNT cart(s) will try to move on the same track the player is on whenever possible. So the player will need to change tracks using to survive. The player can speed up using, and he can slow down using. If a TNT cart hits the player, he will lose and will have to repeat the minigame. Once the required time is over, the TNT cart(s) will explode, and the player will be awarded with a Golden Banana.

This is one of the Bonus games that cannot be played in Snide's H.Q. after collecting all Blueprints.
