| The players need to run through a grid of bridges with a spinning platform at every intersection. Blue platforms spin all the way around, and red ones make a partial rotation. The first player to get to the end wins. If both players arrive at the goal at the same frame, the player on the left always wins. If neither player gets to the goal within a certain time limit, the minigame ends in a tie. | | The player needs to run through a grid of bridges with a spinning platform at every intersection.
