Cosmic Slalom is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 8.
IntroductionEdit
The first player appears, sitting inside a hovercraft inside a large tube. The screen splits to reveal the other player sitting inside their hovercraft, and the minigame begins.
GameplayEdit
The goal of the minigame is to race through the slalom course racing tube as quickly as possible. The players must watch out for fences, which cause them to spin out and waste time. To temporarily pick up speed, the player can use a speed boost, which also allows them to quickly blast right through the fences with no effect. However, the speed boost can be used only a total of three times. Whoever reaches the finish first wins.
EndingEdit
The winning player performs their victory pose inside their hovercraft and then jets away out of sight. The losing player is not shown, unless they were close to the winning player when the minigame ended.
ControlsEdit
- Wii Remote: Rotate around tube
- Buttons
- / – Boost
In-game textEdit
- Rules – "Speed through the racing tube to reach the finish first!"
- Hint – "When boosting, you'll not only pick up speed but also blast through obstacles. You can boost only three times."
