Pumper Cars is a Duel minigame featured in Mario Party 8, as well as a single-player minigame in Test for the Best. The name is a pun on "bumper cars."

Introduction

The camera goes through part of a mine, then it comes to the first player. The screen splits into two to show the second player.

Gameplay

Players must hold the Wii Remote sideways and pump their handcarts all the way to the finish. To operate the levers correctly, the players must shake Wii Remote up and down while holding A Button and One Button. If the player does not hold both buttons, the cart does not move. The first player to reach the goal wins. If neither player reaches the goal within five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.

Ending

The screen cuts to the winning player in a different perspective; the player stops to do a winning pose and then continues pumping.

Test for the Best

In Test for the Best, the player plays alone in this minigame and must reach the goal as fast as possible. The scores required to earn a certain point total are as follows:
