==Introduction==
==Overview==
Somewhere in a desert, the players are standing on a railroad track and are startled when they turn around and see Steamer coming towards them and honking. With no time for the players to react, Steamer then runs over them knocking them onto a moving platform behind him. The minigame then begins.  
The minigame opens with both players on a railroad track, becoming suddenly startled upon turning around to see [[Steamer]] moving toward them at high speed. Steamer hits the players, who they land into his tender.


==Gameplay==
Each player tries to return Steamer to the station first. There are three junctions where the player character has a choice between two tunnels, and whoever enters the wrong tunnel has to restart. The player that reaches the end first wins. If either both players finish at the same time or have not reached the end within five minutes, it is a draw.
The players must navigate Steamer back to the station. An incorrect choice drops the player off a cliff and he or she must return to the start of the course. The first player to choose correctly at each of three junctions and arrive at the station with Steamer wins.


If both players arrive at the station at the same time, the minigame will end in a draw.
In the ending, the winning player does their victory pose as Steamer returns them to the station.
