Rickety Coaster

The Rickety Coaster is the name for the minigame and the minecart track that sprawls around the Shipyard Construction Bay located on an island in the Lanayru Sand Sea featured in Skyward Sword. It is run by a Goron by the name of Gortram.

Appearance and Features
Running around multiple sharp turns, the Rickety Coaster is a mine-cart track that connects large, ancient buildings that were part of a town where the citizens would help build the ships located in the Shipyard. Gortram would spend his day riding the tracks due to being alone for years. It is first used as an alternative when the entrance to the Shipyard leading to more clues about the Sandship is found to be locked. Gortram allows Link to use the mine cart after explaining how to ride it safely. After riding through twists and turns Link reaches the Construction Bay where nothing but a Moldarach and sand is found.

After obtaining Nayru's Flame, Link can return to the Rickety Coaster to find that Gortram has set up a minigame for the price of 20 Rupees with two track choices: the "Heart Stopping! or the "Scary!" track. "The Heart Stopping!" requires that Link beats Gortram's incredible time of 1:05 in order to receive a heart piece (only for the first time he beats the record). Provided that Link's time is under 1:10 he is awarded with various Treasures. The "Scary!" track's rewards are 50 Rupees for a time of under 40 seconds, and 100 Rupees for beating Gortram's record of 30 seconds.
