Desert Dash

Desert Dash is a 2-vs-2 minigame from the original Mario Party on the Nintendo 64.

Overview

Work with your teammate to travel across the desert path while strapped to a log board. Move in sync to travel faster, and keep an eye out for the Thwomp crashing down on the path. If you don’t match your teammate’s movement, you’ll both end up tripping for a brief moment. Reach the goal first to win!

A version of this minigame returned in Mario Party 2. This minigame was remade in Mario Party: The Top 100.
