==Gameplay==
Holding the [[Wii Remote]] out straight, the player must drive through a long course. To move left or right, the player needs to twist the Wii Remote the direction he or she wants to go. To accelerate the player must hold the A Button and the B Button is used to brake.
The players must compete to reach the finish line while avoiding hitting the walls and various obstacles. The course starts out in a grassy land surrounded by mountains, where the racers must avoid hitting rocks. After entering a dark tunnel, they exit into a canyon, where the road is dustier and more rocks are present.

This segment is the longest and most difficult, with giant bricks obstructing the players. The finish line awaits at the end of the ruins.

==Ending==
The player must reach the finish line, and beat his or her last record. There are obstacles trying to slow the player down. The obstacles are mostly rocks. The course starts out through a grassy land with mountains around. Then the player goes in a dark tunnel (the lights on the car makes it easier for the player to see) and then comes out.
After the player crosses the finish line, the character waves their hand to the player.


When the player comes out, he or she will now be driving in a canyon. It is now more dustier and there are more rocks. After a while, the player will go again in another dark tunnel and come out in a desert like place (that appears to be ruins). The ruins are the hardest and last part of the long course.

Rocks are not the obstacles anymore, but the obstacles are now giant bricks. Thought not necessary, the player might want to slow down in this part because of so many obstacles. After going through all the obstacles, the player will finally reach the finish line.

Canyon Cruisers is a one- or two-player minigame found only in the Extras Zone in Mario Party 8. Like in all Extras Zone games, the players can use Miis as well as the other available playable characters.

Introduction[edit]

The character rides a shiny blue car that flies in the air and drives for a few seconds. The character then stops where two Shy Guys are holding up a red-and-white-square banner. The minigame then starts.

Gameplay[edit]

The players must compete to reach the finish line while avoiding hitting the walls and various obstacles. The course starts out in a grassy land surrounded by mountains, where the racers must avoid hitting rocks. After entering a dark tunnel, they exit into a canyon, where the road is dustier and more rocks are present. At the end of that segment is a second dark tunnel that leads out into a desert-like set of ruins vaguely reminiscent of ancient Rome. This segment is the longest and most difficult, with giant bricks obstructing the players. The finish line awaits at the end of the ruins. If neither player reaches the finish line within a certain time limit, a tie occurs.

Ending[edit]

After the player crosses the finish line, the character waves their hand to the player.

Controls[edit]

  • Wii Remote: Move
  • Buttons
    • A Button – Accelerate
    • B Button – Brake

  • Rules (single player) – "Get into your cruiser and head for the goal. Try to get the best time on the track!"
