Rules

Players proceed through each stage in the vehicle as a group. During every turn, one player becomes the captain and hits Dice Blocks to move everyone the number of spaces shown.

Hitting Dice Blocks

When it’s your turn, you get to choose an available Dice Block. Once the Dice Block starts spinning, press to hit and stop it. At first, only the normal Dice Block will be available. You can acquire other Special Dice Blocks later by landing on Dice Block Spaces (page 8).

The Captain

The captain receives any Mini Stars and Special Dice the group picks up while moving along the board. He or she will also receive a Captain Bonus of additional Mini Stars after defeating one of Bowser’s minions in a Boss Battle minigame.

Mini Stars vs. Mini Ztars

When the captain passes through Mini Stars in a stage, he or she adds them to his or her total. However, any Mini Ztars picked up will subtract that number of Mini Stars from the total.
