Curvy Curbs is a 1-vs.-3 minigame from Mario Party 5.

Overview[edit]

Curvy Curbs from Mario Party 5
The minigame ending in a draw.

Both the solo player and the team of three must move their carts carefully through the path to make it to the goal. The road is narrow and winding, and touching one of the curbs stuns the player for a moment before they can move again. If any member of the team touches a wall, the entire team stops for a moment. The solo player must maneuver their cart on a slicker pathway, lessening the amount of control that the player has. The side that makes it to the goal first wins. The game ends in a draw if both sides pass the goal line at the same time (by crashing the same number of times).

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Steer (left/right)

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Guide your one-wheeled cart and its trailer along the pathway. The first one to the finish wins."
  • Advice 1"The single player's pathway is more slick than the others' pathway. Steer your cart carefully."
  • Advice 2"If any one of the three players hits a curb, it will cause a big delay. Steer carefully!"
