'''Pedal to the Paddle''' is a Bowser Jr. [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. The name is a pun on the phrase "pedal to the metal." This minigame is set in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''{{'}}s [[airship]] levels.

==Introduction==
The players and [[Bowser Jr.]] jump from wooden platforms to wheels with five platforms each.

==Gameplay==
The pair must try to reach the finish before Bowser Jr. by [[jump]]ing on the platforms to make the wheel progress. Players must keep jumping to the rightmost platform so that weight pushes the wheel toward the goal. At the bottom of the screen is a meter that shows how close players are to the end. If a player falls off the wheel, they will reappear in a [[bubble]] a few seconds later. The player will automatically free themself from the bubble. Whoever is operating the wheel that reaches the end first is the winner.

==Ending==
If the players are victorious, the captain (or the player closer to the goal platform's center) does a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] on a switch. Bowser Jr. looks surprised, and then his entire wheel falls off, causing him to scream as he falls. The players strike victory poses. If Bowser Jr. is victorious, he laughs evilly.
