'''Track Star''' is a 1-vs.-3 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''.
The team players each choose a path upon reaching one of the three forks while running from the solo player. If the solo player chooses the same path of at least one team player, they have five seconds to try and ram them away. Any group players who chose a path that the solo player did not spectate from a mine cart.


==Gameplay==
The solo player wins if they ram every opponent, then they get off of the train to do their victory pose. The team players win if at least one of them makes it to the end, with the solo player and their train crashing into a barrier at the end.
One player chases the other three on a Toy [[Steamer]], on a track with three forks. The three runners each choose one way, as well as the player on the Toy Steamer. If the Toy Steamer does not choose the same path as any of the runners, they will lose a chance to ram them. If it does have at least one player to ram, they can speed up to knock them away. The steamer has five seconds to try to ram players. The three players that are running must tap two buttons repeatedly and simultaneously if they are caught to avoid get knocked away.


If anybody reaches the end, the three players win. In the case for the solo player, if he or she rams into all three players, he or she wins.
The minigame title is a play on a phrase that refers to any well-known {{wp|track and field}} athletes.
