Filet Relay is a 1-vs-3 minigame found in Mario Party 2. The minigame is set in an icy world with the players dressed like penguins (or acting like them).

Gameplay

One player has to bring the fish to the end of the race alone, while the other player on the team has to pass the fish to the next player on the team and the next until the player reaches the end of the race. At the beginning of the race, there is a big icy rock in the middle of the lane. The next area has two snowmen throwing snowballs at the entrance and a narrow zigzag lane made of walls into which one of the players can bump easily. The last area has some slopes and some snowmen throwing more snowballs at the near end of the race. If the player waddles too much, the player might fall. Additionally, getting hit by a snowball squishes a player and knocks them backwards, likely causing them to lose. If one of the players reaches the end of the race, that player wins and is greeted by other numerous penguins.

In the Mini-Game Coaster, the lone human player always plays against the team of three.
