Rocky Road is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 6, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.

Overview[edit]

Rocky Road from Mario Party Superstars
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

The minigame opens with a Shy Guy (replaced by a Toad in later versions) stopping the car at some boulders.

Both players try to break through five sets of boulders along the way, starting with two small ones, then a small boulder, then three small boulders, then two medium boulders, and lastly a giant boulder. It is possible to hit one's teammate, also stunning them in the Mario Party 6 version. The first team to reach the end wins, but if neither do within five minigames, the result is a tie.

The winning players wave while driving their car down the road.

The ending shows the winners waving as Toad continues to drive them along. Later versions of the minigame feature Toadette entering the car before Toad drives off again.

The environment is dark during nighttime in Mario Party 6 only, but the gameplay is unaltered.
