'''Desert Dash''' is a 2-vs-2 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''.


== Gameplay ==
==Overview==
[[Desert Dash]] is a 2-vs-2 mini-game in ''[[Mario Party]]''. Two teams have to step both of their legs by alternately pressing left and right at the same time. If one of the players of the team moves incorrectly, the team will fall down. A [[Thwomp]] appears as an obstacle at the middle of the race.
Desert Dash involves the team members working together to move with log boards on their feet and cross the finish line at the end. Both team members can step forward on a certain side, indicated by a dialog box. If a player moves their foot in a wrong direction, a red "X" displays on the box, and the team collapses temporarily. The only actual obstacle is a [[Thwomp]], which tries to crush the players. The first team to cross the finish line wins.


== Trivia ==
The ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' version is mostly the same, except the Thwomp has an updated design, and the boards are red and blue. Also, whenever a team player does an incorrect step, the Circle Pad notification becomes pink.
[[Dungeon Dash]] is another mini-game that is similar to Desert Dash, but with more obstacles.


{{Mario Party 1}}
Desert Dash can be bought from the [[Mini-Game House]] in ''Mario Party'' for 150 [[coin]]s when it becomes available.
