The intro starts as the players stand on the railroad, and suddenly a train that looks like [[Steamer]], comes by and knocks the players onto it. Players have to go the correct tunnel three times to win, if a player picks the wrong tunnel, the player falls off a cliff, forcing the player to start over. The mini-game Risky Railroad from Wii Party follows a similar set of rules.
The players must navigate Steamer back to the station. They are given a choice of two tunnels at a set of points to enter. Choosing an incorrect tunnel causes the player to fall off a cliff and return to the start of the course. The first player to choose the correct tunnel at each of three junctions and arrive at the station with Steamer wins.
