Roller Coasters is a 4-Player and Duel minigame from Mario Party DS. Its name references "roller coasters", a popular type of amusement park ride.
Gameplay
In this game, the players are in a sandbox, trying to reach the end, where there is a sand castle. To do this, they must roll on rubber balls. On the way, however, are buckets, houses made of blocks, and moving toy trucks to block the way. At the end of the game, if the record on completing the game is beaten, it will be shown. After this, the winning player will be seen on top of the sand castle, doing their victory dance, while the losing players will be seen in front of the castle. If the game is tied, all the players will be seen in front of the sand castle.
If both players break the current record in the Duel variant by tying, it counts as a new record even though neither player won, as the screen will say "Tie" after the "New Record" fanfare. This also applies to the other Duel minigames with a record system.
