Bound Bowl Grand Prix
- This article is about the minigame. For the story mission, see The Bound Bowl Grand Prix.
Bound Bowl Grand Prix is a minigame that appears in Super Mario Odyssey. The minigame takes place in the Snow Kingdom and involves Mario capturing a Shiverian Racer and competing against several other Shiverians on a small course called Snowline Circuit. The player (as the Shiverian Racer) must "bound" by pressing or by shaking the Joy-Con or Pro Controller and can do so while hitting the ground with good timing in order to gain a small speed boost. The first time Mario competes in this minigame, he will be rewarded with a Multi Moon if he gets first place. If Mario gets in a place lower than first, he will either receive a few coins or nothing at all. A more difficult version of the race can be played after Mario grabs the Multi Moon, where the other Shiverians move much faster than before. Completing this version will grant Mario a Power Moon.
Another track called Iceburn Circuit can be played post-game after breaking the Snow Kingdom's Moon Rock. The same rules apply to this track as they did in Snowline Circuit and it too has a more difficult version. Placing first in both will earn Mario two more Power Moons.
The Bound Bowl Grand Prix is the only minigame that Mario is required to compete and win first place in order finish the main game. All other minigames in Super Mario Odyssey are optional.
