'''Track Star''' is a 1-vs.-3 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''.

==Overview==
The minigame opens with the team players walking down a track before being startled at the solo player arriving on a [[Steamer|toy train]].<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/OybkVwJRMPs?feature=shared&t=1|timestamp=0:01|title=''Mario Party DS'' - Track Star (Master Dificult<nowiki>[sic]</nowiki>)|publisher=YouTube|author=Taís Maria|accessdate=March 12, 2025|date=January 9, 2022}}</ref>

The team players each choose a path upon reaching one of the three forks while running from the solo player. If the solo player chooses the same path of at least one team player, they have five seconds to try and ram them away. Any group players who chose a path that the solo player did not spectate from a mine cart.

The solo player wins if they ram every opponent, then they get off of the train to do their victory pose. The team players win if at least one of them makes it to the end, with the solo player and their train crashing into a barrier at the end.

The minigame title is a play on a phrase that refers to any well-known {{wp|track and field}} athletes.
