Bobsled Run is a 2-vs-2minigame inMario Party,Mario Party 2, andMario Party Superstars.
Overview[edit]
Both teams do a bobsled race to the bottom of an icy track. Threespeed boosts are found along the way; inMario Party 2, one of them is on an optional path. If a team falls off the track, that team is disqualified from the minigame. TheMario Party 2 version has fewer guardrails. The team that makes it to the end first wins. The minigame is a draw if either both teams are disqualified or neither team reaches the end goal by five minutes inMario Party andMario Party 2 or three minutes inMario Party Superstars.
After a team wins, if the losing team makes it to the end, that team either slams into a wall inMario Party andMario Party Superstars, or flies off a cliff inMario Party 2. It is possible to stop short of hitting the wall or flying off at the end if the bobsled is slow enough.[citation needed]
Bobsled Run costs 200coins to buy at theMini-Game House inMario Party and 100 coins fromWoody inMario Party 2.

Notes[edit]
- Bobsled Run is similar to theBig Penguin race onCool, Cool Mountain fromSuper Mario 64, especially because the bobsleds look likepenguins inMario Party 2. The bobsleds bear theming to theSuper Mario franchise inMario Party, where the blue team's bobsled has aMushroom symbol and the red team's has aStar symbol, andMario Party Superstars, where both have spotted Mushroom-like patterns.
