Template:Minigame-infobox Day at the Races is a battle minigame in Mario Party 2. The name is derived from the 1937 film A Day at the Races by the Marx Brothers.
Gameplay
The minigame involves the players choosing one of the four characters, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. When playing this game during a party, turn order is determined by the current standing in reverse order.
- Whomp – Walks fast but falls over and takes a long time to get up.
- Thwomp – Rises above the floor and jumps forward but then drops down and takes a long time to get up.
- Boo – Disappears and then reappears a lot further than before, but faceplants on the ground sometimes.
- Bob-omb – Starts a spark running from its fuse and moves very fast but occasionally falls over.
Once the players choose their characters, the minigame announcer will alert the players to start the race. Once the race starts, each of the four characters race to the end, and the first character to cross the finish line wins the minigame for that player.
