'''Oil Crisis''' is a 4-Player Mic [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''.
'''Oil Crisis''' is a 4-Player Mic [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. The term "oil crisis" references the {{wp|1973 oil crisis}} that occurred  when the price of oil skyrocketed due to an embargo on the part of {{wp|Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries|OAPEC}}.


==Overview==
==Introduction==
Players navigate their car left or right on a course that is 200 yards/metres long, dodging oil spills while collecting pink fuel cans on their way to the end. Each player has only one [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] that they can use by saying "Mushroom" into [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Microphone|Mic]] (or choosing from a box if the Mic settings are set to "Use Controller"), giving them a speed boost. If a player is out of fuel, they cannot continue, but their distance is still recorded. Any players who make it the farthest win, without a possibility of getting a tie.
The four players are shown waving at the screen while standing in front of their cars.
 
==Gameplay==
The players must navigate their cars around the oil spills (which will slow them down) and collect pink fuel cans to get to the finish line. Players must command their cars to move left or right. During each player's turn, they also have the opportunity to use their [[Mushroom#Mario Kart series|Mushroom]] and receive a speed boost (similar to in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series) by shouting "Mushroom" into the [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Microphone|Mic]]; however, this can be done only once. If there is no Mic, the commands are selected from a blue box. The finish line is 200 yards/meters away from the starting point. If the player runs out of fuel, they stop and their distance is measured from where they are to the starting point. The player who gets the farthest is the winner. If more than one player crosses the finish line, then they all win. There are no ties.
 
==Ending==
The winner(s) stand(s) in front of their car(s) at the finish line and perform(s) their victory animation(s).
