Loco Motives

Loco Motives is a duel minigame found in Mario Party 8. The game's name is a pun on locomotive, the proper term for a freight car. Loco also means crazy in Mexican, so the game could also mean "crazy motives". (with reference to what the trains are doing)

Introduction
At the start, a train track with the players' trains and balloons will be shown. Both players point at a train with their cursor, reversing its direction. The game then starts.

Gameplay
The players have to point their cursor at their trains, so that they will not pop their coloured balloons. There are 3 balloons and trains each; the players have to compete until one player pops all of his/her balloons, resulting in a win for the opponent. The trains will stop moving once they pop a balloon. It is also impossible for a player to pop his/her opponent's balloons, as the player has to pop his/hers first.

Ending
The winner will do a victory pose while the loser is sad. The screen then cuts to the winner's train, which is travelling around the track.
