Sugar Rush is a 2-vs.-2 and Duel minigame in Mario Party 8.
Overview[edit]
In the introduction, a character is seen in a bakery, putting the finishing touch on a cake sitting on the table. A picture of the cake appears in a box at the top of the screen, and the minigame begins.
- In normal modes, a Koopa Troopa (who is the main baker) is seen adding the finishing touches.
- In Free Play Arcade, one of the player's Miis (as the main baker) adds the finishing touches.
The objective of the game is to duplicate the cake that the character lays out by matching the placement of toppings. The first cake created is always the same, while the second one varies with each run. Some cakes require up to seven toppings, while some require as few as three. If a player places a topping in the wrong spot, they must pick it up again and place it in the correct spot. The first team or player to recreate two cakes before the other is the winner. If neither team or player completes a cake within 30 seconds, the game ends in a tie.
In the ending, winning players do their victory animations while standing behind the table with their two finished cakes. Any candles in the cake will be lit. The camera then makes a continuous 360° turn around the table (seen only fully in the 2-vs.-2 version in Party Mode).

In-game text[edit]

Naming[edit]
The minigame's name is derived from a phrase that refers to when one goes into hyperactivity after consuming too much sugar.
