Pedal Power is a 1-Player minigame in Mario Party.

Overview

The player rides a mounted bike in a dark area while a Boo approaches them slowly. The player has 20 seconds to produce enough power for a light from pedaling to make the Boo disappear.

If the player wins, they do their winning pose while continuing to pedal and win ten Coins. If the player loses, the Boo catches them, the light goes out completely, and the player loses five Coins.

It costs 150 Coins to buy Pedal Power at the Mini-Game House when it is available.

Controls

• – Rotate to pedal

In-game text

• Game Rules (Mini-Game Island) – "Light up the room without getting caught by Boo. Beat Boo to clear the game."

Notes

• The background music is a variation of the Ice Land theme in Super Mario Bros. 3.
• Pedal Power is one of the minigames infamous for giving players injuries on their hands, besides Deep Sea Divers, Paddle Battle, Cast Aways, and Tug o' War. The Mario Party Superstars version has a disclaimer on the rules screen that warns players to not turn the stick with their palm to avoid hand injury and stick damage. A similar warning is shown in the Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online re-release of Mario Party and advises the same thing.
