Introduction of Random Ride.

Random Ride is a mini-game found in Mario Party 5.

This game is mostly luck-based. Each player has to pick a name from a list of competitors for a race. Generally, the better a machine's name, the better the chance that player will win the race. Also, players pick their machine in a random order, leaving players choosing early with an advantage, and vice versa.

After everyone has chosen their machine, the players race. There is nothing players can do at this point; it is all up to chance. Players get eliminated throughout the race through various misfortunes, such as engine blowouts or collisions with Bullet Bills. Eventually, one player is left; that player is declared the winner.

Some examples of names for the machines include:

• General Long Shot
• Totally Terrible
• At Its Best
• Nothing's Right
• Fate's Decision
• Perfect Conditions
• Miracles Do Happen
• Daily Routine
• Almost-Guaranteed Victory
• So-So, I Suppose
• Feeling Good
• Difficulties Ahead
