Overview[edit]

Trace Race in Mario Party Superstars
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

The minigame opens with a close view of a giant clipboard as the four players jump in one by one.

Each player has a giant crayon and a long path that they must trace. The path is not straightforward: there are a series of turns, curves, and loops. Players score points based on their accuracy. The most accurate player at the path's end wins, unless no one scores at least 30 points, in which case the game ends in a draw.

In Mario Party 4, each crayon and path is colored according to the character, with a relevant symbol at the beginning of the path. In Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars, the standard player colors are used, with the symbol always being a mushroom.

In the ending, the four players make it to the end of the clipboard, and the screen shows their traces from beginning to end, calculating who was the most accurate. In Mario Party 4 and Mario Party Superstars, winning players do their victory animations while the losing players do their losing animations; in the case of a draw, everyone does their losing animation.
