Cosmic Slalom is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 8.

Overview

In the introduction, the first player is seen sitting inside a hovercraft (which starts up) inside a large tube. The screen splits, and the minigame begins.

The goal of the minigame is to race through the slalom course racing tube as quickly as possible. The players must watch out for fences, which cause them to spin out and waste time. To temporarily pick up speed, the player can use a speed boost, which also allows them to quickly blast right through the fences with no effect. However, the speed boost can be used only a total of three times. Whoever reaches the finish first wins.

In the ending, the winning player waves inside their hovercraft and then jets away out of sight. The losing player is not shown, unless they were close to the winning player when the minigame ended. If this occurs, the losing player will be seen after a few seconds jetting out of sight after the winning player.
