Snow Way Out
Template:Minigame-infobox Snow Way Out is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party 8. Its name is a pun on "no way out".
Introduction
The three players pop out of the roof of a cottage (similar to the one seen at the end of the Mario Party 5 minigame Tube It or Lose It), on to the roof, in a background of snow, and trees with snow on them. The solo player drives in on a snow vehicle.
Gameplay
The solo player's goal is to make the three fall off, by shooting snowballs from the vehicle, and either hitting them directly to encase them in ice, or hitting the roof, making it slippery, thus making it easier for them to fall off. The trio's goal is to survive until time runs out.
Ending
If the solo player wins, he/she performs his/her victory dance while the other three sit in the snow, dizzy. If the trio win, the solo player is forced to retreat with a sad face as they do victory poses.
Controls
Solo Player: to aim, to fire. Trio: to move, to jump.
