'''Mario Chase''' is a [[minigame]] or attraction featured in the [[Wii U]] title, ''[[Nintendo Land]]''. The game is a refined version of the Wii U demo '''''Chase Mii'''''.

The minigame's full title is "'''Mario Chase: The Great Getaway'''", though it was originally titled "'''Mario Chase: Hot Pursuit'''".<ref>Nintendo (September 14, 2012). [https://youtu.be/sawZZVrlsSo Wii U - Nintendo Land Trailer]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved December 21, 2021.</ref>

==Gameplay==

During gameplay, up to four players use a {{button|wii|Wiimote}} in order to track and chase down the player using the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}}. The characters in Mario Chase are the players' [[Mii]]s dressed up in popular Mario themed outfits. 

The Miis representing the {{button|wii|Wiimote}} are each provided with different colored Toad outfits; player 1, player 2, player 3, and player 4 being 
[[Toad (species)|Blue Toad]], [[Toad (species)|Purple Toad]], [[Toad (species)|Green Toad]] and [[Toad (species)|Yellow Toad]] respectively. The player wielding the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}}, however, has its Mii dressed up like [[Mario]]. When there is only one Toad, they are provided the assistance of two [[Yoshi Cart]]s from another ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' [[minigame]], [[Yoshi's Fruit Cart]]. The Yoshi carts, computer controlled, are given the ability to stun Mario with their tongue, which provides the single Toad a much better chance to win. Each arena is divided into four different colored sections,  blue ([[Star]]), red ([[Mushroom]]), yellow ([[Super Leaf]]), and green ([[Fire Flower]]). The Yoshi carts can also sense what section Mario is in. After the first 30 seconds of the match, a [[Super Star]] appears at the center of the arena, that is only available of use to Mario. If Mario collects it, he is granted invincibility and moves faster for a short period of time. While he is invincible, Toads and Yoshi Carts are knocked away. The music speeds up twice during the match, at sixty seconds and thirty seconds.

A relatively simple octagonal shaped arena with many colored blocks scattered throughout, where the placement of these blocks are mirrored on the east and west sides. As all terrain is mainly identical save for very gentle slopes, this arena makes for a good practice arena for beginners. The music played here is an arrangement of the athletic theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

When played with 2 or 3 players, the arena goes under drastic changes compared to the other arenas. The stage is overall much smaller, it is now rounded instead of octagonal. There are much fewer blocks around the stage, which are now slightly curved and the platforms that link to the corners of the starting point can now be jumped off onto the regular part of the stage, as such they can no longer be used to trap Mario. This arena mainly gives the Toads the upper hand.

This is a unique arena in the game, being much less blocky compared to the other arenas and having an odd shape. The most significant feature of this arena is the mud that fills some of the stage, being poured out onto the arena by four [[Warp Pipe]]s in the background. The mud makes both the Toads and Mario slow down drastically if they come in contact with it. Bridges connect the four sections preventing the player from slowing down, which disappear permanently if Mario runs across one. The Toads, however, can run across them an infinite number of times if Mario has not yet walked across them. This can be used to slow the Toads down if they are chasing closely behind Mario. Mario is also immune to the mud if he is using a Super Star. In 2 or 3 player mode, the basic layout of the stage is identical, the only major differences are the size and the curves on the edge of the arena are not as sharp. The background music for this arena is an arrangement of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario World)|athletic theme]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. This arena mainly gives Mario the upper hand.

===Slide Hill===

This course's main feature are the many slides found throughout, a total of fourteen (six in the 2 and 3 player version) which make the players move significantly faster while losing all control until they reach the bottom, which allows the Toads to sneak attack on Mario by surprise if done with the right timing. While the Miis usually sit down while sliding, the Toads can slide down headfirst if they tackle and land on a slide. Mario can also do this; though it is only possible if a Yoshi cart stuns him in the right location. The slides prohibit players from running back up them once they reach the bottom, as both Mario and the Toads slip and fall if they attempt to run up it while the Yoshi carts spins around stunned. The music played on this arena is fittingly an arrangement of [[Slider]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

*'''Balancing Bloopers''': You can see these balancing Bloopers when you play Mario Chase with four or more players. We made a lot of Bloopers, but  we decided not to show them all to save face (and ink)!
*'''Bullet Bill''': This is a giant mobile based on everyone's favorite giant bullet. Caution: watching it spin for too long may cause drowsiness and/or indescribably bizarre dreams!
*'''Piranha Plant''': Piranha Plants are by far the most common man-eating plant native to pipes. This pipe is connected to a secret underground facility. Or so the legend goes...
*'''Toy Koopa Troopa''': I'd say this Koopa Troopa is somewhat on the large side for a toy, but many humans seem to think that bigger is better. They've clearly never run into Bowser on a bad day.
*'''Yoshi Cart''': The Yoshi Cart is highly versatile--its long tongue can be used to snap up fruit, strike enemies, do some light cleaning and mopping... Needless to say, it's a huge hit here at Nintendo Land.
