Later Skater is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 5, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.

Overview[edit]

Later Skater from Mario Party Superstars.
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

Players compete to finish five laps around an ice rink, starting from the right and looping around to the left. Later Skater is also the penultimate minigame of Mini-Game Decathlon in Mario Party 5 as well as the third minigame of Half Decathlon in Mario Party: The Top 100, featuring the same objective, and one can earn up to 1,000 points. If players hit either the walls or the center, they are slowed. The first player to meet the objective wins, but if no players reach the goal once five or three minutes have passed in Mario Party 5 or Mario Party Superstars, respectively, the result is a draw.
