| '''Pumper Cars''' is a Duel [[minigame]] featured in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', as well as a single-player minigame in [[Test for the Best]]. The name is a pun on "{{wp|bumper cars}}." | |
|

|
| ==Introduction== | | ==Controls== |
| The camera goes through part of a mine, then it comes to the first player. The screen splits into two to show the second player.
| | Pump cart: Hold [[Wii Remote|Wiimote]] sideways, pump up and down, hold A and 1. |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| Players must hold {{button|wii|Wiimote}} sideways and pump their handcarts all the way to the finish. To operate the levers correctly, the players must shake {{button|wii|Wiimote}} up and down while holding {{button|wii|A}} and {{button|wii|1}}. If the player does not hold both buttons, the cart does not move. The first player to reach the goal wins. If neither player reaches the goal within five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.

|
| ==Ending== | | ==Ending== |
| The screen cuts to the winning player in a different perspective as they stop and face the screen, after which the player does a winning pose and then continues pumping. | | The screen then cuts to the winning player, who stops to do a winning pose and then continues pumping. |
| | |
