Paths of Peril is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 4 and a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars.

Gameplay

The minigame involves characters walking along narrow paths over a large canyon. The player has to move quickly but carefully, so as not to fall into the canyon. If the player does fall into the canyon, a Klepto (in Mario Party 4) or a Lakitu (in The Top 100 and Superstars) brings them back on the path. At two points in the course, players have a choice of going left or right at a junction. One path leads to a short winding road, while the other leads to a maze of 90° turns. Both paths lead to the same place, but the paths that the players pick can be the deciding factor in their placement. The first character to reach the goal wins. If no one reaches the goal within 60 seconds, the minigame ends in a tie.

Trivia

The texture map for the signs in Paths of Peril: the text reading "Guruguru Dangar" goes unused.
The texture map for the signs
  • In Mario Party 4, the textures for the signs have the unused name Guruguru Dangar (translating to Round and Round) on on them. However, this can be seen on 1080p60fps or higher when zooming in on the signs.[1]
