Mine Car[1] (Mine-Car Race in the British English version),[2] originally known as Moleville Mountain, is a minigame in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. It involves Mario riding a minecart on tracks. Mario controls the cart by leaning in the direction he wants it to travel. If he fails to lean or goes too fast, he will crash on the corners, losing time. In this minigame, Mario can collect Mushrooms and use them to boost the cart's speed, and obtain coins that he can keep after completing the minigame.

During the ride, the player can jump by pressing B Button, so as to avoid pits and collect Mushrooms and coins. The player can brake by pressing either A Button or Y Button, to avoid derailing and losing time in the case of the minecart going too fast before turns, especially sharp ones. The player can make use of the Mushrooms they collect by pressing X Button, that way giving the cart a speed boost. Additionally, the player can honk the cart's horn by pressing L Button or R Button, though doing so has no actual effect besides the sound.

The first run through Mine Car is mandatory and part of the story. Later, the moles make a tunnel leading directly to the minecart that triggers the minigame, and they charge ten coins to take that shortcut (Mario can still play Mine Car by going through the Mole Mines and finding the minecart). The moles keep a record of Mario's time and reward him every time he beats his record.
