'''Line in the Sand''' is a 1-vs-Rivals [[minigame]] featured in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. The name is a play on the phrase, "Line in the sand" meaning a point of stopping. This game's concept is similar to that of [[Etch 'n' Catch]] from ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.

==Introduction==
The rivals run into the sand pen, chased by the solo player. The solo player stops at the grassy area, and the camera focuses on the sand pen.

==Gameplay==
[[File:LineInTheSand.png|thumb|200px|left|Another screenshot of Line in the Sand.]]
The solo player attempts to eliminate all other players by drawing lines in the sand around them. If a complete shape is made, it darkens slightly, and any players inside its perimeter jumps up and is eliminated. If a player draws a line too long without connecting it, the beginning of the line is erased. If even one rival survives the entire 30 seconds, all rivals win.
