Sunday Drivers is a golf-themed 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 6. Its name is a pun on the term "Sunday drivers," which refers to people who drive slowly, and "drivers," a type of golf club. On the official website, there is a minigame called "Night Driver," which is based on this minigame.
There are only aesthetic changes between the daytime and the nighttime.
Introduction
The camera pans from the sky to the field below. Each of the players then hits a golf ball, one after the other.
Gameplay
The players compete to be the first to properly hit 10 golf balls. To swing, the player must press the button on the sign that the Shy Guy is holding behind the player. If the correct button is pressed, the character successfully hits the golf ball. If a wrong button is pressed, the character hits the ball, but it simply rolls off to the side and does not count as a hit. It is possible for multiple players to make the tenth hit at the same time; if that happens, a random player is chosen as the winner. If five minutes pass, the minigame ends in a tie.
This minigame appears as the seventh minigame in Decathlon Park. Here, the player's objective is to hit as many golf balls as possible to earn as many points as possible, up to 1,000. The default record for this minigame in Decathlon Park is 10 points.
Ending
The camera zooms in on the winner as they perform their victory animation.
