All Geared Up

All Geared Up is a 4-player and duel minigame coming from Mario Party DS. This minigame consists of characters climbing up the gears and cogs to reach the top.

Setting
The minigame takes place within a grandfather's clock, filled to the brim with a variety of platforms of different shapes and sizes. There are stationary white ledges and clock struts, bars that stick in and out, steps that rise up and down, and even rotating cogs which all have to be navigated through; there are also brightly covered cogs in the background.

Gameplay
The aim of the game is to navigate through the set of gears and platforms, and climb all the way up to the goal from the bottom. Simply use the control pad to move and the A button to jump.

Beware of bars that stick in and out, as falling from them can cause you to drop down a considerable distance. It is also advisable to use the less-crowded paths where possible.
