The mini-game is mostly luck-based. Each player has to pick a name from a list of competitors for a race (randomized). Generally, the better a machine's name, the better the chance that player will win the race. Also, players pick their machine in a random order, leaving players choosing early with an advantage, and vice versa. It is very similar in concept to [[Day at the Races]] from ''[[Mario Party 2]]''.
The minigame is mostly luck-based. The audience consists of [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s sitting on pink and yellow bleachers. According to the Koopa Troopa (host), each player has to pick a name from a list of competitors for a race (randomized). Generally, the more positive a machine's name, the better the chance that a player will win the race. When this minigame is played in a Battle Royale [[board (Mario Party series)|board]] game, the player in last place picks their machine first, with the player in first place picking last; in Free Play mode or Team Match, the players pick their machines in a random order. Players who choose early gain an advantage, and vice versa.  


The possible names for the machines include the following:

After everyone has chosen their machine, the players race. There is nothing players can do at this point; it is all up to chance. Players get eliminated throughout the race through various misfortunes, such as engine blowouts or collisions with [[Bullet Bill]]s. Eventually, one player is left; that player is declared the winner.

Some examples of names for the machines include:

* Totally Terrible
* At Its Best
* Nothing's Right
* Fate's Decision
* Perfect Conditions

After everyone has chosen their machine, a race plays by itself. The competitors soar across the ocean; they pass through blue-, pink-, yellow-, and orange-striped hot air balloons with [[Whomp]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, Goombas, and Koopa Troopas cheering for them. Players get eliminated throughout the race through various misfortunes, such as engine blowouts and collisions with [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s. Occasionally, however, players can appear to be eliminated but can recover from mishaps, though this is entirely by luck. Eventually, one player is left; that player is declared the winner.
