Introduction[edit]

The group players are walking down a track, only to be surprised as the soloist comes up on their trail with a Steamer. They run down the track as their opponent follows in hot pursuit.

Gameplay[edit]

Upon picking the same path as any group players, the solo character has five seconds to try to ram them; the group player(s) in question must tap two buttons simultaneously repeatedly to avoid getting knocked away. (The group players who picked the path that the soloist did not pick board a minecart to watch the chase.) The solo player wins if they ram all three opponents off the track, while the group players win if any of them survive through all three rounds.

Ending[edit]

If the soloist wins, they disembark from the train and celebrate. If the team players win, the soloist gets stunned as their train collides with a barricade that the group players jump over, narrowly escaping being crushed. The group players then celebrate their victory.
