Template:Minigame-infobox Day at the Races is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 2. The name is derived from the title of the 1937 film A Day at the Races by the Marx Brothers.
Gameplay
The minigame involves the players choosing one of the four characters, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. When this game is played during a party, turn order is determined by the current standing in reverse order.
- Whomp – Walks fast but falls over and takes a long time to get up.
- Thwomp – Rises above the floor and jumps forward but then drops down and takes a long time to get up.
- Boo – Disappears and then reappears much farther than before, but faceplants on the ground sometimes.
- Bob-omb – Starts a spark running from its fuse and moves very fast but occasionally falls over.
Once the players choose their characters, the minigame announcer alerts the players to start the race. Once the race starts, each of the four characters races to the end, and the first character to cross the finish line wins the minigame for that player.
