| In both ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'', the last player standing wins. If one minute passes with two or more players remaining, or if the remaining players get eliminated, the minigame is a tie. On [[Mini-Game Island]] and in the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the player must eliminate the three CPU players within one minute to win. If time runs out before the task is completed or if the player is eliminated at any time, it is a miss.

| In the Mini-Game Coaster, the version of this minigame depends on the difficulty played: On Easy difficulty, the lava course is used. On Normal difficulty, the ice course is used. On Hard difficulty, the ocean course is used.

| In ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', the lava course from the ''Mario Party 2'' version of Bumper Balls is used. The balls have more power than in ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'', and the platform is smaller, significantly shortening the minigame's average length.
| |
| | |
| In ''Mario Party Superstars'', all three levels from ''Mario Party 2'' return. Additionally, the balls revert to their power from ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2''.
