How to play the Hurdle Race

A racing minigame in Uma Musume Party Dash's pixel art: run with your Uma, jump the hurdles and the water and cross the line in the best time. Every day there is a new course, the same for everyone, and you can challenge a friend to beat your ghost.

How to play

  1. Pick your Uma from the 40, the mode (daily race or free run) and the distance: 1200, 1600 or 2000 m.
  2. Press "Race!" and wait for "Go!". Jump with Space, ↑ or a tap on the track: a tap is enough for a low hurdle; for a high hurdle or the water, hold it and she jumps higher and further.
  3. Hold → or Shift (on a phone, the Spurt button) to spurt. It uses stamina: a full bar holds 8 seconds of spurt, and it fills back slowly while you are not spurting. If it runs out, your Uma is out of breath and slower for a while.
  4. Every obstacle cleared in a row adds to the combo and a little speed. A perfect jump, with the top of the jump right over the obstacle, adds twice as much and gives stamina back. Knocking a hurdle down or landing in the water slows you down and ends the combo.
  5. At the line you see your time, every obstacle in its colour and your records. Share the result or send the "Challenge a friend" link.

Difficulty levels

Easy
A 1200 m sprint: only low hurdles (a tap clears them) and water jumps, with plenty of room between them.
Normal
A mile, 1600 m: high hurdles (hold the button) and doubles come in, closer together.
Hard
2000 m, middle distance: the obstacles closer still, with more high and double hurdles.

The daily challenge is always Normal.

Questions

How does the daily race work?
Every day at midnight UTC there is a new 1600 m course, the same for everyone. Run it as often as you like: your best time of the day counts, and from the second try you race the ghost of your best run.
What is the ghost?
A see-through Uma that runs a race again exactly as it was run: your record, your best time today, your best try on that course or a friend's race. The box under the track turns it off.
How do I challenge a friend?
When you finish, "Challenge a friend" copies a link with the course, your Uma and your whole race. Whoever opens it runs the same course against your ghost and sees at the end who won and by how much. It is all in the link; nothing is kept anywhere else.
What is a perfect jump?
One whose highest point is right over the obstacle (for water, over the middle of it). It counts double for the combo and gives back a fifth of your stamina.
Where do the Umas come from?
They are the pixel-art sprites of 40 Umas from Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Party Dash, Cygames' game, with their own animations: running, spurting, jumping, tripping, falling in the water and celebrating.
Where are my scores kept?
