The aim of the game is to reach the end of five mazes in five minutes. It is one of the only three 1-player minigames available in ''Mario Party 6''. On every level, the player can also find another character wandering around: these include a [[Penguin]], a [[Ukiki]], a [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]], a [[Goomba]], and a [[Shy Guy]]. Only one appears on each floor, and they appear in a random order. Though they do not help the player directly, finding them contributes to the player's rank. A [[trampoline]] propels the player to the next maze. At the end, E. Gadd gives the player a rank, as high as 16 and as low as 1.

Gameplay[edit]

The aim of the minigame is to reach the end of five mazes in five minutes. It is one of the three one-player minigames available in Mario Party 6. On every level, the player can also find another character wandering around: The characters include a penguin, a Ukiki, a Koopa, a Goomba, and a Shy Guy. Only one appears on each floor, and they appear in a random order. Though they do not help the player directly, finding them contributes to the player's rank.
