A Toadstool Race is one of the challenges a magical Sim may be given after talking to a vendor in Magic Town. Unlike most other challenges, a toadstool race is a sort of minigame. When the race starts, a number of toadstools (not the gray ones that can be sat on) will appear. The player's task is to have the Sim touch more toadstools than the vendor. When the Sim touches one it will turn blue, when a vendor touches one it will turn red. The one with more of their color wins (Ties will always go to the vendor). If the Sim wins, he or she will receive a special ingredient from the vendor. Some vendors are harder to beat than others, this is the order of vendors and how hard they are to beat.
