The camera shows a closeup of the first players on a pedestal before the pool, panning across to the other players. The camera changes to a diagonal angle, and the players prepare to dive. At the "START!" signal, Toad fires his popgun, and the players jump into the water.

Gameplay[edit]

The race consists of three laps, each lap having a different type of stroke. The goal is to complete the three laps the fastest. However, the player must be careful, for their character has a stamina meter that indicates how tired their swimmer is. The faster they swim, the faster their stamina depletes. If it empties all the way, their character suffers a severe speed drop. The trick is to balance speed and stamina. If no one completes all three laps within five minutes, the minigame ends in a draw.
