Slot-Car Derby is a 4-player minigame that appears in Mario PartyMario Party 2, Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars.

Gameplay[]

The controls are not overall considered difficult, but it is difficult to maintain a position. At the starting line, if a player holds the Control Stick when it says "go", the player will be penalized for five seconds. If the driver goes too fast, he or she will start to spin. The first player to reach the goal wins.

In Mario Party, there are two tracks with one being shorter and having less complex turns than the other. The minigame will end in a draw if no players have reached the goal within 2 minutes.

In Mario Party 2, there are three tracks: the first one is bean-shaped, the second one C-shaped, and the third one is cloverleaf-styled. However, the game tracks the best times for the minigame as though they were the same track.

In both games, if a player stands still and another player rams into them, that player is out. In Mario Party, the minigame will end in a draw if no players have completed four laps within two minutes, whereas in Mario Party 2 the time is within five minutes and in Mario Party Superstars, the time is within three minutes.

At the Goal of the Mini-Game Island, the player must win the race against Toad and two random CPU characters in the second course of this minigame.
