Gameplay[]

Day at the Races available racers

The racers available to choose from, from left to right: Whomp, Thwomp, Boo, and Bob-omb

The characters can to participate in a race involving certain members of certain Mario enemy species. The choices are: Whomp, Boo, Bob-omb, or Thwomp. The order that the characters pick their racers is determined by their ranking on the board map, so whoever is in last can pick their racer first but whoever is in first takes the last racer available.

The performance of each character in the race varies every time. While the characters are picking a racer, they can determine if the racer is willing to compete, which gives them a higher, but still not a definite, chance of winning. The character whose racer crosses the finish line first wins the minigame.
