'''Mecha Marathon''' (formerly formatted as '''Mecha-Marathon''') is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

==Overview==
[[File:Mario Party Superstars - Mecha Marathon (second part).png|thumb|left|Gameplay from ''Mario Party Superstars'', with Wario losing to the other players]]
Players wind up their [[Mecha Fly Guy]]s as quickly as possible within a time limit before the Mecha Fly Guy flies down each player's lane. There are signs marking their progress every ten yards. The Mecha Fly Guys eventually fall, who coud. The player that has their Mecha Fly Guy land the farthest wins, a objective retained in the [[Mini-Game Coaster]].

It costs 200 [[Coin]]s to buy the minigame from [[Woody]] in ''Mario Party 2''.

The highest possible score in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' is 40.00 yards/metres,{{ref needed}}, while in ''Mario Party Superstars'', it is 70.00 yards/metres.<ref>{{cite|author=Itz Ky!|date=October 30, 2021|url=youtube.com/watch?v=wUO0wpXkQtk|title=''Mario Party Superstars'' - Mecha Marathon - 70.00 yd. <nowiki>[MAX]</nowiki>|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 2, 2021}}</ref>
