'''Sphere Factor''' is a 2-vs.-2 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. Its name is a pun on the title of the NBC reality game show ''{{wp|Fear Factor}}'', as was the name of the ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' minigame [[Pier Factor]].

==Introduction==
The camera focuses on the goal line, then pans to the players.

==Gameplay==
The object of the minigame is for each pair to get its giant ball to the goal. The ball must be pushed around and through many obstacles, which include mini-mazes, [[Monty Mole]]s, [[Whomp]]s, and a bridge that is particularly hard to get over. If the ball falls off the bridge, it needs to be pushed up a steep hill. The team that gets its ball to the goal first wins.

In ''Mario Party: The Top 100,'' the balls roll much faster than they did in ''Mario Party 7''.
