Desert Dash

Desert Dash is a mini-game that appears in Mario Party. The unlockable mini-game Dungeon Dash in Mario Party 2 uses the same objectives as Desert Dash, but in a different environment.

In Desert Dash, the characters are stranded in the middle of the desert and are strapped together on a pair of stilts. The characters are required to work as a team in order to win this mini-game. However, the characters can only move by taking one step at the time by using the joy stick. The screen will prompt the characters to push the control stick into one direction, and they will only be able to proceed by pushing the control sticks together at the same time. If they do not synchronize their controls, then they will be unable to move for a brief moments. There is also a Thwomp located on the path that leads to the finish line. If the characters managed to get stomped by the Thwomp, they will be flatten for a few seconds. Once a team has crossed the finish line, the mini-game will end.
