Stompbot XL is a single-player minigame in Mario Party Advance.
Opening[]
Lava waves crash behind the player's character while they sit in their vehicle.
Gameplay[]
The player's character has to use their vehicle to drive around lava and rocks to outrun the crashing lava waves approaching from behind. If the player goes over some leftover lava, they lose a heart, and the speed on the vehicle decreases, leaving them vulnerable to being caught by the lava wave. Some health kits are placed on the ground along the way, and they fully restore the character's health. If the character loses all three hearts within their health bar, the player loses at the minigame.
In the Shroom City mode and Mini-Game Attack, the player wins if their character makes it to the goal. In Shroom City, the course has the length of one checkpoint, while in Mini-Game Attack, it has the length of three checkpoints. In Play Land, the player's character scores while avoiding the crashing lava waves for as long as possible before it catches up to them. Bridges exclusively appear as objects in this mode.
