'''Kartastrophe''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', as well as a single-player minigame in the game's [[Test for the Best]] mode. It takes place on a track akin to most circuit tracks. Its name is a portmanteau of "[[kart]]" and "catastrophe."

==Introduction==
The players drive their karts up to the starting line as the lights signal the start of the race.

==Gameplay==
The four players compete in a simple two-lap race around the circuit. Players can turn their [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remotes]] all the way to turn at sharp curves. The first player to reach the finish line wins. Ties are possible if multiple racers finish within a fraction of a second or if nobody completes two laps within five minutes.

==Test for the Best==
In Test for the Best, the player is alone and must complete two laps of the circuit in the fastest time possible. The times required to earn a certain points total are as follows:
