'''Desert Dash''' is a 2-vs-2 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''.
'''Desert Dash''' is a 2-vs-2 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''.


==Overview==
==Introduction==
Desert Dash involves the team members working together to move with log boards on their feet and cross the finish line at the end. Both team members can step forward on a certain side, indicated by a dialog box. If a player moves their foot in a wrong direction, a red "X" displays on the box, and the team collapses temporarily. The only actual obstacle is a [[Thwomp]], which tries to crush the players. The first team to cross the finish line wins.
On the screen, the player will see the sun that is about to set. There are some trees and rocks at both sides of the lane on the grass. The camera moves backward, revealing the finish line with a sign post, and a [[Thwomp]] as an obstacle. The screen then splits in two and shows the two teams, who have log boards on their feet, as the minigame begins.


The ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' version is mostly the same, except the Thwomp has an updated design, and the boards are red and blue. Also, whenever a team player does an incorrect step, the Circle Pad notification becomes pink.
==Gameplay==
 
[[File:Top100DesertDash.png|thumb|left|''Mario Party: The Top 100'' gameplay]]
Desert Dash can be bought from the [[Mini-Game House]] in ''Mario Party'' for 150 [[coin]]s when it becomes available.
The members of the teams have log boards on their feet, and they have to work together to cross the finish line. To go forward, both players on a team will have to step on a certain side, using their feet, as the dialog showing which way both players will have to go to move forward appears on each team, at the same time. If one of the players on a team moves in the wrong direction with their foot, the team will collapse onto the ground and then have to stand up to resume. If this occurs, the team will lose some time and the other team may get ahead. Additionally in the minigame, there is a Thwomp in the air nearby, as an obstacle, attempting to crush the teams as they pass by. After falling, the Thwomp slowly lifts up from the ground to fall again when it reaches the highest height it can get to, and the process repeats. If one of the teams gets crushed by the Thwomp, the team will lose some time, like when the team falls over. The first team to cross the finish line wins the minigame.


''Mario Party: The Top 100'' mostly retains the minigame's basic gameplay, except that the first team's log boards are red instead of green and the second team's log boards are blue instead of red. The Thwomp has also been updated to match its current appearance. Additionally, when a team collapses, the notification to move the Circle Pad to the left or right turns red instead of a red ''X'' marking appearing over it.
