Oil Crisis is a 4-Player Mic minigame in Mario Party 7.
Overview[edit]
Players navigate their car left or right on a course that is 200 yards/metres long, dodging oil spills while collecting pink fuel cans on their way to the end. Each player has only one Mushroom that they can use by saying "Mushroom" into Mic (or choosing from a box if the Mic settings are set to "Use Controller"), giving them a speed boost. If a player is out of fuel, they cannot continue, but their distance is still recorded. Any players who make it the farthest win, without a possibility of getting a tie.
Controls[edit]
– Say: "Right," "Left," "Mushroom"
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – "Drive your kart by shouting commands into the Mic. Don't run out of fuel before you cross the finish line."
- Advice – "The "Mushroom" command will give you a burst of speed, but you can only use it once. Plan ahead!"

Naming[edit]
The term "oil crisis" could be referring to the 1973 oil crisis, when oil became very expensive due to an embargo from OAPEC, and the 1979 oil crisis, which occurred in the wake of the Iranian revolution.
