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?"

Introduction

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.

Gameplay

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 this minigame is beaten in 45 seconds, the Minigame Room will get a Koopa Plate added to it. If neither team reaches the end in five minutes, the minigame ends in a draw.
