Slot-Car Derby
Template:More images Template:Minigame-infobox Slot Car Derby is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party, Mario Party 2, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.
Gameplay
At the starting line, if a player holds the Control Stick or Circle Pad when the announcer says "Go!" that player will be penalized for a few seconds. If the driver goes too fast, they will spin out. If a player is overlapped by another player, that player will be rammed into, eliminating them. The first player to complete four laps wins.
In Mario Party, there are two tracks, with one being shorter and having less complex turns than the other, which has a similar shape to Luigi Raceway. In Mario Party 2, there are three tracks: The first one is bean-shaped, the second one is C-shaped, and the third one is cloverleaf-styled. The first track from Mario Party 2 is the one used in The Top 100.
In the Mini-Game Coaster, the version that is played depends on the difficulty: On Easy, the bean-shaped version is used. On Normal, the C-shaped version is used. On Hard, the cloverleaf-style version is used.
In Mario Party, the minigame will end in a draw if no players have completed four laps within two minutes.
