Insectiride is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 6.
Opening[]
Each of the vehicles are shown before cutting to the view shown during the race. The camera then zooms in on the stage in front of the racetrack.
Gameplay[]
Each of the racers are racing in their insect vehicle to get to the other side of the small stretch of land first. At the start, each character has 30 seconds to select one of four insect vehicles to use in the race—either a beetle, a ladybug, a snail, and a grasshopper—with a small description given when they stand in front of a vehicle. Once the vehicles have been chosen, the gameplay starts, and the characters must press a certain array of buttons, which varies depending on which insect they chose, to move it to the finish line. The minigame ends when at least three of the characters have crossed the finish line or if five minutes are up, although the latter ends the minigame in a tie.
Ending[]
The characters take their positions on a podium on the stage from the start corresponding to their ranks from in the race. Whoever won in first place performs their victory animation as confetti rains down upon them, and the character in last place performs their losing animation. The screen in the background shows the winner's vehicle. If the minigame ends in a tie, every character performs their respective losing animation.

- Despite the minigame name having "insect" as a prefix, one of the vehicles is designed after a snail, which is a mollusk, not an insect.
