Trace Cadets

Trace Cadets is the name for both a 4-player and a Duel minigame in Mario Party DS.
== Gameplay ==
From the Touch Screen, the player must use their Stylus to trace the outline of each highlighted shape on the top screen. Tracing is done from the perimeter of four connected grids. If the Stylus is lifted off the screen while tracing, the line that is being traced is undone. As the player fills in the outlines, more gradually become available to fill in. Eventually, when a character fills in every outline, they form a colored square on their portion of the top screen and win the minigame. 
== Ending ==
The game ends once the player completes their full square first. If none of the characters fill out their square within five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.
== Flavor text ==
* Rules – "Build upon your corner by tracing the outlines of any bordering shapes. Here's a complication: you must sketch each shape without lifting your stylus."
* Tips – "You can't trace just any shape on your field. The only pieces you can trace are those that are outlined in your character's color."
== Trivia ==
*The minigame's name is a pun on the phrase "space cadet."
