Rotation Station is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 8, as well as a single-player minigame in Test for the Best.
Introduction[edit]
The camera faces upward, showing most of the castle-like obstacle course above, before panning downward to show a set of red doors, through which the first player enters. The first player runs to the center of the room before the screen splits to show both players, and the minigame begins.
Gameplay[edit]
Two players go against each other to see who can climb up to the top of a castle first. They must climb floating blocks and moving platforms and "rotate" the screen to see where they are going; the players' view is often obscured by some platforms. Whoever lands on the finishing platform first is the winner. If five minutes pass, the minigame ends in a tie.
Ending[edit]
The winner stands on the finishing platform as it rises to the top of the castle. Now on top of the castle, the winner does a victory pose as many colored balloons float in the background. If the minigame ends in a tie, the players do their losing poses.
Test for the Best[edit]
In Test for the Best, the player plays alone in this minigame and must climb to the finishing platform as fast as possible. The times required to earn a certain point total are as follows:
