Players start at the corners of a rectangular maze. The goal is to make it to the center. However, there are pegs creating a grid throughout the maze. Electrical barriers appear and change frequently, meaning players have to find a way around them. If a player touches an electrical barrier, they are stunned for a moment. The first player to reach the center of the maze wins. The color trail is character-dependent (e.g., [[Mario]]'s is red, [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s is pink, and [[Waluigi]]'s is black). If no one reaches the center of the maze within the time limit, the minigame ends in a draw.
