Mario Party

Twist and Route is a 4-player and Duel minigame which appears in Mario Party DS.

Layout[]

The minigame takes place on an assembly table, something that it shows at the start before moving down to the windup cars at the starting line. Various objects such as plated cogs, clock plates, mini-watches, bolts, and assembly pieces are placed along the way.

Gameplay[]

The minigame consists of a race between mini-cars, each with a wind-up key on the back. The goal for each player is to race across the table and be first to cross the finish line. The minigame takes place on the top screen. To get their wind-up car to move, a character first has to wind it up. The player can wind up their character's mini-car by spinning the Stylus in a clockwise rotation. As a result, the mini-car begins to travel, the distance of which is determined by how much it had been wound up. Eventually, the mini-car slows before outright stopping, requiring the player to use the Stylus to wind it back up. The mini-cars must avoid driving into objects that either slow them or stop them from moving.

Whoever crosses the finish line first is the winner. In a Duel, if both players cross the finish line at the exact same time, the minigame ends in a tie.

Controls[]

  • +Control Pad / Y Button and A Button: Steer car
  • Stylus (clockwise): Spin the key of the wind-up car/
