==Overview==
__NOTOC__
The opening shows each player riding their jetboard down a path in outer space, with [[Earth]] visible in the background.
==Introduction==
The two players find themselves standing on jetboards, hovering over a short road-like expanse. When they reach the end of the expanse, the players are surfing openly through outer space. In the background, [[Earth]] can be seen.


==Gameplay==
Players try to go through colored circular goals with different [[point]] values, though the goals depicting a [[Bowser]] [[emblem]] drop them down to zero instantly. The player with the most points by the end wins, though if both end with the same number, it is a tie.
The goal is to go through colored circular [[point]] goals with different point values. However, the player must watch out for the [[Bowser]] goals with his emblem shown on them, or else their score will instantly drop to zero. Whoever has more points at the end of the minigame wins.


==Ending==
[[Test for the Best]] has a single-player variety where points are earned through the same means while avoiding the Bowser goals. The scores necessary to earn a certain point total are as follows:
The winning player performs their victory pose, and launches far ahead of the losing player on their jetboard and out of sight as the losing player sulks on their jetboard behind them. If both players have the same number of points, both players will perform their losing poses and the jetboards will not speed ahead.
 
==Test for the Best==
In Test for the Best, the player plays alone in this minigame and must go through as many circular point goals as possible, avoiding the Bowser goals, to earn as many points as possible. The scores required to earn a certain point total are as follows:

Surf's Way Up is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 8.

Overview[edit]

The opening shows each player riding their jetboard down a path in outer space, with Earth visible in the background.

Players try to go through colored circular goals with different point values, though the goals depicting a Bowser emblem drop them down to zero instantly. The player with the most points by the end wins, though if both end with the same number, it is a tie.

Test for the Best has a single-player variety where points are earned through the same means while avoiding the Bowser goals. The scores necessary to earn a certain point total are as follows:

Grade Points earned Required score Title
A+ 1,000 800 points Cosmic Kahuna
A 900 680 points Stellar Surfer
B 800 560 points Wave Maker
C 700 440 points Surfin' Sophomore
D 600 320 points Surfin' Neophyte
F 0 N/A Wipeout Kid

In the ending, the winning and losing players do their respective animations as the former launches off-screen, but in the case of a tie, both do their losing animations.

Controls[edit]

  • Wii Remote: Move
  • Buttons
    • A Button / B Button – Boost

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules – "Steer your space sled through the point goals to rack up the highest score."
  • Hint – "Avoid the Bowser goals. If you pass through one, your score will drop to zero!"

Naming[edit]

The title is a play on the phrase "surf's up."

Names in other languages[edit]

Japanese ゲットだ！ポイントボール[?]
Getto da! Pointo bōru 		Get them! Point balls

German Surfen im Weltall[?] Surfing in Outer Space
Italian Surf Siderale[?] Stellar Surf
Korean 잡아라! 포인트볼[?]

Notes[edit]

  • If one of the veteran playable characters wins, they will perform one of their secondary victory animations from the GameCube-era Mario Party games (with Mario's and Luigi's being slightly different) instead of the new ones they received in this game. Blooper and Hammer Bro will perform their own new secondary victory animations as opposed to their normal ones. This is also the case in Thrash 'n' Crash.
