==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The minigame starts with all players in a pit. Suddenly, [[Bowser]] appears and throws a [[Spike Ball|spike sphere]] into it, and players have to avoid it. If the sphere crashes into one of the players, that player is eliminated and is put in a cage. Eventually, the spike sphere loses speed and stops. Bowser, infuriated, throws two more spike spheres into the pit. These new spheres hit the first one and cause it to start rolling again, and gameplay continues as before. Any player who survives until all the spike spheres stop moving wins. If everyone is eliminated, a tie occurs.
The game starts with all players in a pit. Suddenly, [[Bowser]] appears and throws a large [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]] into it, which players have to avoid. If hit, a player reappears in a cage on the sidelines and becomes one of the losers. Eventually, the ball loses speed and stops. Bowser, infuriated, throws two more Spiked Balls into the pit. These new balls hit the first and cause it to start rolling again, and gameplay continues as before. Whoever survives until all the Spiked Balls stop moving is the winner.


In ''Mario Party Superstars'', during Free Play, this minigame is treated as a 4-Player minigame; as such, it immediately ends when there is one player left standing. However, a tie occurs if the remaining players are eliminated at the same time.

==Trivia==
==References==
*Due to the fact that the players in this minigame are put in cages instead of being sent flying or falling off the screen after being eliminated, this is the only Bowser minigame in both ''Mario Party 6'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'' in which players who are eliminated can be seen doing their losing animations.
