Skateboard Scamper

Skateboard Scamper is a 4-player mini-game that appeared in both Mario Party and Mario Party 2.

Gameplay

Both versions look different, but concept and controls are completely alike. In the Mario Party version, the players have to skate on a bridge on a lava pit, while the bridge goes down into the pit and Thwomps try to slow down the players as they run away. The Mario Party 2 version involved the players being chased by a Big Boo. They also involve collecting coins, so even those who get caught can get a chance to get coins. The first one who gets to the light source wins. This is a survival game.

Controls

• – Jump
• (Repeatedly) – Skate
