Players race around a track for four laps while riding slot cars. However, driving too fast around corners causes them to spin out, while holding the Control Stick or Circle Pad when the announcer says ''"Go!"'' results in a few-second penalty. Any player passed by an opponent a lap ahead gets rammed into and removed from the minigame. The first player to meet the objective wins, but if none of the players have completed four laps within two minutes in ''Mario Party'', five minutes in ''Mario Party 2'', or three minutes in ''Mario Party Superstars'', it is a draw. | |||
''Mario Party'' features two tracks, individually selectable as Slot Car Derby 1 and Slot Car Derby 2 in the [[Mini-Game House]], with the former being shorter and having less turns. Slot Car Derby 1 and Slot Car Derby 2 cost 450 and 500 [[coin]]s to buy at the Mini-Game House, respectively. [[Mini-Game Island]] features the second track as the goal, where [[Toad]] is an opponent. | |||
Three tracks appear in ''Mario Party 2'', with each having the respective shapes of a bean, a "C," and a clover leaf, as well as representing the respective Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties in [[Mini-Game Coaster]]. The whole minigame costs 150 coins to buy from [[Woody]]. The bean track appears in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' (also the fifth and final minigame of the Half Decathlon), as do all three tracks in ''Mario Party Superstars''. | |||

Slot-Car Derby is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party, Mario Party 2, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars. It is formatted as Slot Car Derby in every appearance except Mario Party Superstars.
Overview[edit]
This section is a stub. Please consider expanding it to include any missing information. Specifics: Time limit in Top 100
Players race around a track for four laps while riding slot cars. However, driving too fast around corners causes them to spin out, while holding the Control Stick or Circle Pad when the announcer says "Go!" results in a few-second penalty. Any player passed by an opponent a lap ahead gets rammed into and removed from the minigame. The first player to meet the objective wins, but if none of the players have completed four laps within two minutes in Mario Party, five minutes in Mario Party 2, or three minutes in Mario Party Superstars, it is a draw.
Mario Party features two tracks, individually selectable as Slot Car Derby 1 and Slot Car Derby 2 in the Mini-Game House, with the former being shorter and having less turns. Slot Car Derby 1 and Slot Car Derby 2 cost 450 and 500 coins to buy at the Mini-Game House, respectively. Mini-Game Island features the second track as the goal, where Toad is an opponent.
Three tracks appear in Mario Party 2, with each having the respective shapes of a bean, a "C," and a clover leaf, as well as representing the respective Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties in Mini-Game Coaster. The whole minigame costs 150 coins to buy from Woody. The bean track appears in Mario Party: The Top 100 (also the fifth and final minigame of the Half Decathlon), as do all three tracks in Mario Party Superstars.
