'''Surf's Way Up''' is a Duel [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.


==Overview==
'''Surf's Way Up''' is a Duel [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', as well as a single-player minigame in [[Test for the Best]]. Its name is a pun on the phrase "surf's up."
The opening shows each player riding their jetboard down a path in outer space, with [[Earth]] visible in the background.
__NOTOC__
==Introduction==
The two players find themselves standing on jetboards hovering over a short road-like expanse. When they reach the end of the expanse, the players are surfing openly through outer space. In the background, [[Earth]] can be seen.


Players try to go through colored circular goals with different [[point]] values, though the goals depicting a [[Bowser]] [[emblem]] drop them down to zero instantly. The player with the most points by the end wins, though if both end with the same number, it is a tie.
==Gameplay==
The goal is to go through colored circular goals with different [[point]] values. However, the player must watch out for the [[Bowser]] goals with his [[emblem]] shown on them, or else their score instantly drops to zero. Whoever has more points at the end of the minigame wins. If both players have the same number of points, the minigame ends in a tie.


[[Test for the Best]] has a single-player variety where points are earned through the same means while avoiding the Bowser goals. The scores necessary to earn a certain point total are as follows:
==Ending==
The winning player performs their victory pose on their jetboard and launches far ahead of the losing player and out of sight, while the losing player does their losing pose on their jetboard behind them. If the minigame ends in a tie, both players will perform their losing poses and the jetboards will not speed ahead.
 
==Test for the Best==
In Test for the Best, the player plays alone in this minigame and must go through as many circular point goals as possible, avoiding the Bowser goals, to earn as many points as possible. The scores required to earn a certain point total are as follows:

In the ending, the winning and losing players do their respective animations as the former launches off-screen, but in the case of a tie, both do their losing animations.

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*If one of the veteran playable characters wins, they will perform one of their secondary victory animations from the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]-era ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games (with [[Mario]]'s and [[Luigi]]'s being slightly different) instead of the new ones they received in this game. [[Blooper]] and [[Hammer Bro]] will perform their own new secondary victory animations as opposed to their normal ones. This is also the case in [[Thrash 'n' Crash]].
*This minigame is similar to [[Target Tag]] from ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', except that there are only two players instead of four.
 
*If one of the veteran playable characters wins as the solo player, they will perform one of their small victory poses from the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]-era ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games (with [[Mario]]'s and [[Luigi]]'s being slightly different) instead of the new ones they received in this game. [[Blooper]] and [[Hammer Bro]] will perform a different victory pose as opposed to their normal ones. This is also the case in [[Thrash 'n' Crash]].
