Bobsled Run is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party, Mario Party 2, and Mario Party Superstars.
Overview
Both teams do a bobsled race to the bottom of an icy track. Three speed boosts are found along the way; in Mario Party 2, one of them is on an optional path. If a team falls off the track, they are disqualified from the minigame. The team that makes it to the end first wins. It is a draw if either both teams are disqualified or neither team reaches the end goal by five minutes in the first two games or three minutes in Mario Party Superstars.
Bobsled Run costs 200 Coins to buy at the Mini-Game House in Mario Party and 100 Coins from Woody in Mario Party 2.

Notes
- Bobsled Run is similar to the Big Penguin race on Cool, Cool Mountain from Super Mario 64, especially because the bobsleds look like penguins in Mario Party 2. The bobsleds bear Super Mario theming in Mario Party, where the blue team's bobsled has a Mushroom symbol and the red team's a Star symbol, and Mario Party Superstars, where both have spotted Mushroom-like patterns.
