Spin Doctor

Spin Doctor
Type	Duel minigame

Spin Doctor is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 7 and Mario Party Superstars. Its name may be a pun on "spin doctor," which is someone working in media who tries to sway public opinion one way or the other.

Gameplay

The players need to run through a grid of bridges with a spinning platform at every intersection. Blue platforms spin all the way around, and red ones make a partial rotation. The first player to get to the end wins.
