Ridiculous Relay is a 1-vs-3 minigame in Mario Party 3.

Overview[edit]

The solo player uses a hang glider while racing the team players, each of whom ride their own vehicle for about a third of the race.[1] The first team player rides a Red Shell and rows with an oar, the second uses a Skeeter vehicle to glide across the water, and the third uses a motorboat resembling a Bullet Bill. There are Flying Goombas and Bullet Bills for the solo player to dodge along the way, slowing them if hit. The first side to cross the finish line wins.
