Tube It or Lose It

Tube It or Lose It is a 1-vs-3 mini-game found in Mario Party 5.

Gameplay
The solo player controls a spiked machine while the three members of the team each control an inner tube, which is faster and more maneuverable than the spiked machine. As the players travel through the course, the solo player must collide with the team members, popping their inner tube and eliminating them. If the solo player than eliminate all three team members before the end of the course is reached, he/she wins. If even one team member survives to the end, the team wins.

Along the way, rocks and tree stumps are encountered. The solo player can break these by colliding with them, but the team must maneuver around them. Also, jumps in the course can be used strategically by the players to avoid or hit the others.
