==Overview==
[[File:MPS Rocky Road.jpg|thumb|left|Gameplay from ''Mario Party Superstars'']]
The minigame opens with a [[Shy Guy]] (replaced by a [[Toad]] in later versions) stopping the car at some [[boulder]]s.


==Introduction==
Both players try to break through five sets of boulders along the way, starting with two small ones, then a small boulder, then three small boulders, then two medium boulders, and lastly a giant boulder. It is possible to hit one's teammate, also stunning them in the ''Mario Party 6'' version. The first team to reach the end wins, but if neither do within five minigames, the result is a tie.
A [[Shy Guy]] (in ''Mario Party 6'') or [[Toad]] (in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'') is driving a car along the road, then he stops when it pulls up to the first set of [[boulder]]s.


==Gameplay==
The winning players wave while driving their car down the road.
Both teams have to destroy the boulders blocking the path on the way so the car will advance. Players must be careful not to accidentally hit the other player; in ''Mario Party 6'', accidentally hit players are stunned. If one player is stunned when the team can advance, the one player stands in front of the car and must wait for their teammate to recover. There are five sets of boulders to pass through: two small ones at the beginning, followed by one small boulder, then three small boulders, then two medium boulders, and finally one giant boulder. The team that reaches the end of the road first wins. The minigame ends in a tie if five minutes pass.


==Ending==
The ending shows the winners waving as Toad continues to drive them along. Later versions of the minigame feature [[Toadette]] entering the car before Toad drives off again.
The winners continue down the road in their car while waving out the window. In ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', [[Toadette]], who is waiting at the end, hops in the car before Toad drives off.


The environment is dark during nighttime in ''Mario Party 6'' only, but the gameplay is unaltered.
