Mario Party

Flash and Dash is a 1-vs-3 minigame which appears in Mario Party DS.

Layout[]

The minigame takes place within a maze featuring walls made up of several red, light green, and blue cubes. The area is darkened while the minigame is being played.

Opening[]

The starting cutscene differs depending on whether the player's character is solo or a teammate. If the player's character is part of the team, the camera pans to wherever they and their teammates are at, each. In the opening for the solo character, they are shown being dropped into the maze.

Gameplay[]

The team of three each have a flashlight, and their goal is to find the solo character in the maze and shine their flashlight on them. Meanwhile, the solo player has to avoid being caught by any of the other three characters. Each character has a five-light alarm. Whenever a teammate gets closer to the solo character and vice versa, the alarm blinks faster, showing more red lights.

If the solo character manages to avoid the other characters once the 30-second Time Limit runs out, they win. If any of the teammates shine their flashlight on the solo character, the team wins.

Ending[]

During the ending cutscene, if the solo character has won, they perform their victory animation. If any of the teammates catch the solo character, they get trapped within a cage, and each teammate does their victory animation on top of the cage.
