Gimme a Brake
Template:Articleabout Template:Minigame-infobox Gimme a Brake is an 8-player minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name is a pun on the phrase "give me a break" and mechanical brakes.
Gameplay
The eight characters start out on the top of a hill on scooters. At the end of the road is a mud pit. The players have to stop their scooters as close as they can to the mud pit without falling into it. The winner is the person (and his or her partner) who stops closest to the mud pit. There are different weather conditions that affect the player's ability to stop on a dime. Sometimes there is rain and the player must stop a little before they would with dry, sunny weather conditions. There is also snow which causes players to have to stop a lot earlier than with either rain or sun.
