Lowrider bouncing in GTA San Andreas, also known as the [[Lowrider Challenge]], functions similarly as dancing, except the player assumes the command of a lowrider equipped with hydraulics and bounce to the rhythms of [[wp:Johnny Harris|Johnny Harris]]'s "Odyssey" or [[wp:Ronnie Hudson & The Street People|Ronnie Hudson & The Street People]]'s "[[wp:West Coast Poplock|West Coast Poplock]]" in all three levels. The completion of the minigame is mandatory during "[[Cesar Vialpando (mission)|Cesar Vialpando]]", and the player can reenter the same lowrider meet at [[Unity Station]] if they are in a hydraulic-equipped lowrider. Unlike dancing, the player can bet a small sum of [[money]] against an opposing lowrider competitor, and must beat said competitor by scoring the highest number of points.

The dancing and lowrider minigames each employ their own set of button or keys. For dancing, action buttons are used for the console versions while the directional keys are assigned for the PC version; lowrider bouncing requires the use of an analog stick in console versions or specialized directional keys in the PC version, as players do when bouncing their lowrider outside the minigame.

Due to inadequate graphical optimization, scoring points during these minigames in the PC version may be more difficult due to synchronized music that often misleads players to follow the beat slightly slower or slightly faster.
