'''Bobsled Run''' is a 2-vs-2 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.


'''Bobsled Run''' is a [[mini-game]] found in ''[[Mario Party (game)|Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 2]]''.
==Overview==
== Gameplay ==
[[File:Bobsled Run - Mario Party Superstars.png|thumb|left|Gameplay from ''Mario Party Superstars'']]
The game splits the four players into two teams, each one getting their own bobsled. One player steers the bobsled down the snowy slide while another quickly taps the A button to get the sled onto the slide.
Both teams do a bobsled race to the bottom of an icy track. Three [[Dash Panel|speed boost]]s are found along the way; in ''Mario Party 2'', one of them is on an optional path. If a team falls off the track, they are disqualified from the minigame. The team that makes it to the end first wins. It is a draw if either both teams are disqualified or neither team reaches the end goal by five minutes in the first two games or three minutes in ''Mario Party Superstars''.


Since there are few guardrails, it's easy to fall (or get pushed by an opponent) off and into oblivion.  The first player to reach the finish line is the winner.
Bobsled Run costs 200 [[Coin]]s to buy at the [[Mini-Game House]] in ''Mario Party'' and 100 Coins from [[Woody]] in ''Mario Party 2''.
