Oil Crisis

Template:Minigame-infobox Oil Crisis is a 4-Player Mic minigame in Mario Party 7. The term "oil crisis" was originally used for a period of time when oil was in short supply.

Introduction

The four players are shown waving at the screen while standing in front of their cars.

Gameplay

The players must navigate their car around the oil spills (which will slow them down) and collect pink fuel cans to get to the finish line. The finish line is 200 meters/yards away from the starting point. If the player runs out of fuel, they stop and the point where they ran out is used as their distance. The player who gets the farthest is the winner; if more than one player crosses the finish line, then all players to do so win. There are no ties.

Ending

The winner(s) stand in front of their car at the finish line and perform their victory animation.

Controls

• Mic – Say: "Right", "Left", "Mushroom"

In-game text

• Rules – "Drive your kart by shouting commands into the Mic. Don't run out of fuel before you cross the finish line."
• Advice – "The "Mushroom" command will give you a burst of speed, but you can only use it once. Plan ahead!"
