Track Star

Track Star is a 1-vs-3 minigame which appears in Mario Party DS.
==Opening==
The teammates are walking down a track, but then the solo character dashes on a train, following right behind the team as they attempt to escape.
==Gameplay==
The solo character chases the other three while riding a train on a track with three forks. Just before each fork, the teammates and the solo character have three seconds to decide whether to travel down the path to the left or right. While the characters are headed down either the left or right path, whoever took same path as the solo character has to avoid being knocked off the track by the train. This carries on for five seconds until the forked path ends. Any teammates who did not take the same path as the solo character rides a mine cart, watching the others on the other lane. When the forked path ends, they jump out from the mine cart and back onto the main track. If ever all three characters take the opposite path as the solo character, each of the teammates give off their happy animation whereas the solo character shows their sad animation.
It is possible for the solo character to speed up the train, during which it whistles, to have a better chance at hitting the teammates. Meanwhile, if the player's character is one of the teammates, they have to repeatedly press two buttons (either , , , and , selected at random for each round) simultaneously to speed up.
If the teammates manage to avoid being hit after all three paths, they jump off the track right before the train crashes into a blockade, making the solo character dizzy and causing the team to win. If the solo character hits all three teammates off the track, they are the winner instead.
==Ending==
If the solo character wins, they get off the train and do their victory animation. If the team wins, they do their victory animation right after the solo character crashes into the blockade.
