Challenge Road is a one-player mode where the player plays a consecutive set of 80 minigames while trying to complete various challenges, such as earning a particular amount of points or finishing a minigame within a time limit. It plays very similarly to the various challenge gauntlets from previous entries such as Endurance Alley from ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', this time on a world map similar to the Minigame Island in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. The mode becomes available when all minigames are unlocked. Players navigates through the minigames split up into six worlds: [[Shell Street]], [[Chestnut Forest]], [[Mushroom Beach]], [[Ghostly Hollow]], [[Salty Sea (world)|Salty Sea]], and [[End of the Road]]. After players beat the final minigame on End of the Road, they are awarded with the Gem of Passion, and a master variant of the challenges is unlocked, which often has more difficult requirements to complete.
