Driver's Ed
Template:Minigame-infobox Driver's Ed is a special minigame found in Mario Party 2. As its name implies, it is set in a driving school.
To obtain the minigame, the player has to buy all 4-Player, 1 vs 3, 2 vs 2, Item, and Battle games. The minigame will then show up as a pear on Woody. When selected, the minigame commences. The camera shows the player where to start, go, and finish at the end. It is the only single-player minigame in Mario Party 2, excluding Item minigames. It is also the only minigame where the announcer says "Time Up!"
Gameplay
The player must drive through the cones in the order written on the balloons within one minute. The player also has to pass them in the correct order when going through correctly by direction, because if the player drives to the wrong balloon, drives to the correct balloon but in the wrong direction, or runs out of time, the player loses.
If the player cleared the minigame and set a new record, "New Record!" pops up. If the player clears but doesn't set a new record, "New Record!" doesn't pop up, but the Win music will play.
This minigame has 5 different courses.
