Overview[edit]

Pit Boss in Mario Party Superstars
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

Players try to avoid the spike sphere that Bowser had thrown into the pit, otherwise they are removed from the field and enter a cage. Bowser eventually throws two more spike spheres into the area, after the first stops moving. Any player remaining when the spike spheres stop moving wins, but if everyone is eliminated, it is a tie. In Free Play mode of Mario Party Superstars, the last player remaining wins.
