'''Pedal Power''' is a 1-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]''.  
'''Pedal Power''' is a 1-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]''.  


==Overview==
This minigame (as well as [[Tug o' War]], [[Cast Aways]], [[Paddle Battle]], and to some extent [[Deep Sea Divers]]) was infamous for [[List of Mario-related controversies#Mario Party injuries|causing many hand injuries among players, leading Nintendo to provide gloves in a legal settlement]].
The player rides a mounted bike in a dark area while a [[Boo]] approaches them slowly.<ref>{{cite|date=March 21, 2016|author=NintendoMovies|url=youtu.be/Ob4EU6VI82Q?feature=shared&t=1|timestamp=0:01|title=''Mario Party 1'' - Pedal Power|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 4, 2025}}</ref> The player has 20 seconds to produce enough power for a light from pedaling to make the Boo disappear.


If the player wins, they do their winning pose while continuing to pedal and win ten [[Coin]]s. If the player loses, the Boo catches them, the light goes out completely, and the player loses five Coins.
==Introduction==
The camera shows the player in the dark on a pedaling gizmo, while the [[Big Boo]] is far off to the right side of the screen.


It costs 150 Coins to buy Pedal Power at the [[Mini-Game House]] when it is available.
==Gameplay==
The Big Boo slowly chases the player as the player sits on the bike. The player simply needs to generate power for a light by rotating. The player has about 20 seconds to generate enough power before the Big Boo catches them. If the player wins, they win ten [[Coin]]s. If they lose, they lose five Coins.
 
==Ending==
If the player wins, they generate enough power to make the Big Boo disappear, and the player does a winning pose while still pedaling. However, if the player does not generate enough power, they will lose and get caught by the Big Boo as the light goes out.

*Pedal Power is one of the minigames infamous for [[List of controversies#Mario Party injuries|giving players injuries on their hands]], besides [[Deep Sea Divers]], [[Paddle Battle]], [[Cast Aways]], and [[Tug o' War]]. The ''Mario Party Superstars'' version has a disclaimer on the rules screen that warns players to not turn the stick with their palm to avoid hand injury and stick damage. A similar warning is shown in the [[Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online]] re-release of ''Mario Party'' and advises the same thing.
