Mole Thrill is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party DS.
Layout[]
The minigame takes place in a straightforward underground path filled with dirt.
Gameplay[]
Both teams, each consisting of two characters, must cooperatively use their shovels to dig through the dirt while escaping from a Monty Mole following them from behind. Gameplay is done from the Touch Screen, while the upper screen is where the player can view how far both their team and their opponent's team has traveled, including the path they dug within the dirt. It also shows their distance from the exit, represented by a small yellow flag.
Despite a Monty Mole going after the characters for the entire minigame, it is not an obstacle because it stops whenever the characters do. The only actual obstacle are rocks, as hitting a shovel into one briefly stops the characters, giving the other team a brief advantage to get ahead or farther ahead of them. The first team to reach the end is the winner.
Controls[]
(repeatedly): Dig
