'''Gimme a Brake''' is an 8-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. Its name is a pun on the phrase "give me a break" and mechanical {{wp|brake|brakes}}.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Gimme A Brake Zero Yards.jpg|thumb|left|Perfect scores go to [[Boo]] and [[Dry Bones]].]]
The eight characters, on scooters, start out on the top of a hill. At the end of the road is a mud pit. The players have to stop their scooters as close to the mud pit as possible without falling into it. The team that stops closest wins. There are different weather conditions that affect the player's ability to stop within a short distance. Sometimes there is rain, and the player must stop a little earlier than they would with dry, sunny weather conditions. There is also snow, resulting in [[ice]], which causes players to have to stop much earlier than with either rain or sun.

It is possible for one player from all four teams to stop the same distance from the mud pit, resulting in a tie. A tie also occurs if all players fall in the mud pit.
