Template:Minigame-infobox Trace Race is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 4.
Introduction
The camera zooms in on the beginning of a giant clipboard, as each player jumps in one by one, holding a giant crayon.
Gameplay
Players each have a giant crayon and a long path that they must trace. The path winds with a series of turns, curves and loops. Players score points based on their accuracy. The most accurate player at the path's end wins.
Ending
As soon as all four players reached the end of the track, the screen shows their traces from beginning to end, calculating who was most accurate. The winning player will do their victory animation, while the other players do their losing animations.
