Snow Go is a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party 9.

Opening[]

The view zooms in on the players before zooming out to show the entire course.

Gameplay[]

Each of the characters are riding in their own snowmobile, and they have to try and be the first to complete five laps around a circular track. Every few seconds, two Mr. Blizzards in the middle of the course throw snowballs that freeze any player they hit, a concept reused from the Mario Party 4 minigame Mr. Blizzard's Brigade. If the player's character is frozen, they have to shake the Wii Remote to thaw their character. About halfway around the track is very thick snow that slows whoever goes through it. However, the section can be avoided by taking the dash ramp. Whoever completes the first five laps first is the winner.

In Time Attack, the object is to instead complete ten laps. There is also a bonus objective that can be accomplished by using the dash ramp on every lap.

Flavor text[]

  • Rules: Be the first player to complete five laps. Use the dash ramp to avoid losing speed in the deep snow.
  • Controls: Hold the Wii Remote sideways. Press +Control Pad to steer, Two Button to accelerate, and One Button to reverse. If you get frozen by a snowball, shake the Wii Remote to escape.

Trivia[]

  • The minigame name is a pun on the phrase "no-go," which means something failed.
  • Snow Go is one of four minigames to automatically end when a character in first place reaches the goal, the other three being 10 to Win, Logger Heads, and Pizza Me, Mario.
  • The Mario Party 5 minigame Later Skater similarly features a round ice track that the characters have five laps to travel around in, albeit on ice skates.
