Rowed to Victory is a 2-vs.-2 minigame found in Mario Party 8. Its name is a pun on the term "road to victory." The object of the minigame is to row a rowboat to the middle of a lake (where the goal point is found) with a partner.

Introduction[edit]

The camera looks directly down at a small circular lake and zooms in to show a tiny island with a flag on it at its center. The camera then zooms backwards, and the screen splits in two to show both teams in their rowboats, after which the minigame starts.

Gameplay[edit]

There are two players in each rowboat. The players must row to the small island situated in the middle of the lake. The main situation is to cooperate with the partner to win, as rowing at different speeds makes the rowboat hard to control; the idea is therefore for the player to try to row the rowboat in sync with their partner. Various obstacles such as tree branches slow the teams down. The first team to reach the island wins. If neither team does so within a certain time limit, a tie occurs.

Ending[edit]

The winners do their winning poses while standing on the wooden platform, while the losers hastily try to row away from Cheep Cheeps and Mega Cheep-Cheeps that are chasing them. If a tie occurs, the players do their losing animations in their boats.

Controls[edit]

  • Wii Remote: Row your oar
  • Buttons: None

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"You and your teammate must row your boat to the island. You each control one oar, so coordinate your rows!"
  • Hint"If your boat gets stuck, decide who will row your way off of it. If you both row, you might stay stuck!"
