A vehicle's stat after it is assembled in the Super Duel Mode of Mario Party 5
The stats for an assembled machine.

Super Duel Mode is a side game mode in Mario Party 5, hosted by Skolar. It is a one-on-one battle mode in which two players face off against each other using custom-assembled vehicles (called "machines"). In this mode, one buys machine parts using points received by playing minigames in either Party or Mini-Game Mode and builds a battle machine to use in different tournaments or against friends. There are a total of 44 different parts that can be used to customize a machine. To unlock all the different parts, one must play all the tournaments and beat certain opponents.

Garage areas

The following areas are available in Super Duel Mode's initial segment, the Garage.

Area Description
Service Desk in Super Duel Mode from Mario Party 5
Service Desk
In this area, players can buy vehicle parts from Skolar. Whenever players play minigames prior to talking to Skolar in the Service Desk, Skolar keeps track of the number of minigames played and converts it to points. Players can also participate in trial battles, where players with a randomly generated vehicle and characters based off what is unlocked is pitted against a computer-controlled Koopa Kid. If a second controller is plugged to the second player slot, the Koopa Kid is replaced with player two, who is also randomly generated.

Garage A-1 and A-2
Garage A-1 is owned by player one, while Garage A-2 is owned by player two. In this garage, players can build a machine from scratch when first accessed. After the machine is built and given a name, players can make any modification to it. Players can also inspect the machine's stats, pit the machine against other machines either in a Vs. Match (against other humans) or D1 Tournament (against CPU machines), or even delete the machine.

This is a garage for friends. It is controlled by player three. In this garage, players can download machine data from the memory card in slot B, or other save files in slot A.

Machine parts and statistics

Machines are composed of four parts: a body, a set of tires, an engine, and a weapon. They have five statistics which are as follow:

  • Health: The amount of hearts the machine starts with in Battle Competition mode. Each heart represents four Hit Points (HP).
  • Power: The amount of damage the machine's weapon deals, in HP.
  • Speed: The top speed of the machine.
  • Acceleration: The rate at which speed increases when accelerating.
  • Handling: How tight the machine turns.

To rate a machine's statistics, the game uses a base rating and applies the statistic modifiers of the machine parts that compose it. The base ratings are as follow:

  • Health: 5/9
  • Power: 4/12
  • Speed: 16/31
  • Acceleration: 5/13
  • Handling: 10/18

When previewing a machine, the raw numbers of its statistics are not shown and are instead hinted at via a radar chart.

Some machine parts possess an ability, granting a certain advantage during battles, at the cost of hindering a statistic to compensate.

Body Types

Bodies affect the health statistic, and are the only kind of machine part to do so. They can also impact power and speed.

Options

After a new machine has been assembled in a garage, the player will be prompted to give it a name. After this, various options will appear:

Icon Effect
Wrench icon used in Super Duel Mode in Mario Party 5 Changes the parts used for the machine
Eye icon from Super Duel Mode in Mario Party 5 Shows the name and statistics of the machine
Battle icon from Super Duel Mode in Mario Party 5 Starts a duel against another player or a tournament against CPU players
Trash can icon in Super Duel Mode from Mario Party 5 Deletes the machine, allowing a new one to be assembled

Super Duel battles

The player can choose the battle from the garage menu, but only Battle Competition on easy and normal are available at the start. If the player loses any game, the tournament ends and the player receives no trophies. On easy mode, the player faces mostly Koopa Kids and few other characters. In normal mode, there are more unique characters and less Koopa Kids. In hard mode, Koopa Kids are absent and Bowser and Donkey Kong appear in the competition.

In all competitions, there are obstacles, such as stationary Spiny Shells or Bob-ombs that detonate within a certain amount of time or upon contact. The size of a Bob-omb mirrors the damage it can do. Warp Pipes simply block machines. Mushrooms occasionally appear along the course and grant the machine better speed and control for a certain amount of time when collided with, as well as Poison Mushrooms, which hinder speed and control.

Terrain can vary in an arena called Random Ruckus. Dirt and grass are present and do no special effects. Metal and ice make the machines harder to control. Lava damages and pushes away the machine. Mud makes vehicles slower. However, if a machine is equipped with Lakitu Cloud or E. Gadd Jet tires, the machine does not get affected by any sort of terrain while Spiny Tires negate sliding.

Modes

Battle Competition

Icon Description Screenshot
Battle Competition icon from Mario Party 5 The goal of this 90 second game is to eliminate the opponent. If the timer runs out before a player is eliminated, the player having more health left wins. The player must fire the weapon with B Button at the other player and keep moving to avoid opposing attacks and obstacles. Battle competition in Super Duel Mode in Mario Party 5

Flag Competition

Icon Description Screenshot
Flag Competition icon from Mario Party 5 In this game, the object is to collect three flags before the opposing player does. This game's time limit is also 90 seconds; the game ends if nobody collects three flags. Although hitting the opposing player immobilizes them momentarily, attacking the opposing member is not the goal of the game. Flag Competition in Super Duel Mode from Mario Party 5

Trivia

  • The Super Wiggler Tires' description states they are very slow, but they are actually tied with the Lakitu Cloud Body and the Choo-Choo Tires for the largest speed bonus, with a modifier of +4. This is presumably a mistake and intended to be -4 instead.
  • Although the speed, acceleration, and handling statistics are usually randomized by the DK Tires and the DK Engine, they are always maxed out when used by CPU-controlled Donkey Kong in tournaments.
