Weird Wheels

Template:Minigame-infobox Weird Wheels is a 1-vs.-Rivals minigame featured in Mario Party 9.

Introduction

The vehicles approach the starting line, and the camera zooms out slightly.

Gameplay

Players must move vehicles whose wheels are not round: square wheels for the solo player's vehicle, and triangular wheels for the rivals' vehicle. The single player moves their vehicle by pressing the buttons in the exact order shown on-screen. The rivals move their vehicle by pressing or one by one. If the solo player presses a wrong button, they must start another combination. When a player from the team presses a wrong button, they must simply try again. A total of five combinations must be done to reach the goal.
