Right Oar Left? is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party 4. Its name is a pun on the common query "Right or left?" If this minigame is beaten in 45 seconds, the Present Room will get a Koopa plate added to it.

IntroductionEdit

The screen is split into two for each team. On each side, both teams paddle a Dorrie Boat through the tunnel. The camera focuses behind them, and the game begins.

GameplayEdit

Teams are divided into two boats that resemble Dorrie. The object of the minigame is to reach the end of a long tunnel by using the paddles. Along the way, players must avoid obstacles such as stalagmites and fire-breathing Bowser Statues. The first team to reach the end wins. If neither team does so in five minutes, the minigame ends in a draw.

EndingEdit

Wario and Waluigi winning

The scene switches to the outside of the cave; the winning team rows toward the camera and celebrates. The other team is not seen. If the minigame ends in a draw, the boats stop.

ControlsEdit

+ – Forward
– Row right oar
– Row left oar

In-game textEdit

Game Rules – "Be the first to pilot the Dorrie Boat out of the cave!"
Advice – "The right oar turns you left. The left oar turns you right. Avoid the flames, and get out of there!"
