Surf's Way Up is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 8, as well as a single-player minigame in Test for the Best. Its name is a pun on the phrase "surf's up."
Introduction[edit]
The two players find themselves standing on jetboards hovering over a short road-like expanse. When they reach the end of the expanse, the players are surfing openly through outer space. In the background, Earth can be seen.
Gameplay[edit]
The goal is to go through colored circular goals with different point values. However, the player must watch out for the Bowser goals with his emblem shown on them, or else their score instantly drops to zero. Whoever has more points at the end of the minigame wins. If both players have the same number of points, the minigame ends in a tie.
Ending[edit]
The winning player performs their victory pose on their jetboard and launches far ahead of the losing player and out of sight, while the losing player does their losing pose on their jetboard behind them. If the minigame ends in a tie, both players will perform their losing poses and the jetboards will not speed ahead.
Test for the Best[edit]

- This minigame is similar to Target Tag from Mario Party 7, except that there are only two players instead of four.
- If one of the veteran playable characters wins, they will perform one of their secondary victory animations from the GameCube-era Mario Party games (with Mario's and Luigi's being slightly different) instead of the new ones they received in this game. Blooper and Hammer Bro will perform their own new secondary victory animations as opposed to their normal ones. This is also the case in Thrash 'n' Crash.
