Flash and Dash

Template:Minigame-infobox Flash and Dash is a 1-vs.-3 minigame featured in Mario Party DS. The name is a pun on the phrase "Crash and Dash".

Gameplay

Three characters with flashlights attempt to catch the runaway character with their light beams in a maze. If the runaway is still running in the maze until the time is up, he or she wins. If the player is caught, the other three are victorious.

Each player has a five-light alarm. As the chasers get nearer to the target and vice versa, the alarm will blink faster and show more lights.
