Rail Riders is a 4-Player and Duel minigame found in Mario Party DS. It is also the first minigame in Score Scuffle.
Introduction[edit]
The camera pans up to the starting point at the top of a railing where the characters have their leaves ready.
Gameplay[edit]
In this minigame, the player must use the stylus to speedily slide down a handrail. Every time the player slides the stylus, their speed increases. When the player reaches the bottom of the rail, their speed determines how far their jump will be. The player who makes the farthest jump wins the minigame. If all players either miss making their farthest jumps or achieve the same jump score, the minigame is considered a tie.
If everyone breaks the current record by tying, it counts as a new record even though no one won, as the screen says "Tie" after the "New Record" fanfare. This also applies to the other minigames with a record system.
Ending[edit]
The winning and losing players do their winning and losing animations, respectively, on the red rug. More than one winner can be displayed if multiple characters get the same score.
Controls[edit]
– Slide up to accelerate
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – "Build speed for a long jump. You'll go farther the more you slide your stylus up the screen before the jump."
- Rules (Score Scuffle) – "Build speed for a long jump. You'll go farther the more you slide your stylus up the screen before the jump. You'll earn more points the farther you go."
- Tips – "As you slide your stylus rapidly, use the full height of the screen."
