Loco Motives is a Duel minigame found in Mario Party 8. The game's name is a pun on "locomotive," the proper term for the car that actually moves the train.
Introduction
At the start, a train track with the players' trains and balloons will be shown. Both players point at a train with their cursor, reversing its direction. The game then starts.
Gameplay
The players have to point their cursor at their trains, so that they will not pop their colored balloons. If a train gets near a balloon, its siren will go off. There are 3 balloons and trains each; the players have to compete until one player pops 3 of his or her balloons, resulting in a win for the opponent. The trains will stop moving once they pop a balloon. It is also impossible for a player to pop his or her opponent's balloons, as the player has to pop his or hers first. The burst balloons and trains will start moving again sometime after making contact.
Ending
The winner will do a victory pose while the loser is sad. The screen then cuts to the winner's train, which is traveling around the track.
Trivia
- The word "locomotive" can also refer to a name for a train.
