Nothing to Luge is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party DS. Its name is a pun on the phrase "nothing to lose," while "luge" refers to a small one-person or two-people sled.

Gameplay[edit]

This minigame take place on a snowy hill in the mountains. The solo player is in a wooden spoon, while the other three players are in a wooden shoe. The objective of the minigame is to get to the bottom of the hill first. The players must turn at corners smoothly since scraping them slows the players down. Whichever side reaches the bottom of the hill first wins. However, if both the solo player and the team reach the bottom of the hill at the same time or if five minutes pass, the minigame ends in a tie.

This minigame is not listed in the Simple Set in the Gallery.

Controls[edit]

  • L Button – Turn left
  • R Button – Turn right

In-game text[edit]
