| | '''Sphere Factor''' is a 2-vs-2 mini-game in [[Mario Party 7]]. [[Monty Mole|Monty Moles]] and [[Whomp|Whomps]] appear in this mini-game. The point of the game is for each of the pairs to get to the other side of the place. They must push a giant ball around/through many obstacles. These include mini-mazes, Monty Moles, Whomps, and a particularly hard to get over bridge. If the ball falls off the bridge, it needs to pushed up a steep hill. |

| '''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]].
| | ==Trivia== |
| | | *This mini-game's name is a reference to the reality show [[wikipedia:Fear Factor|''Fear Factor'']]. |

| 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. If five minutes pass in ''Mario Party 7'', the minigame ends in a tie.
| |
| | |
| In ''Mario Party: The Top 100,'' the balls roll much faster than they did in ''Mario Party 7''.

| In ''Mario Party 7'', the winning team's characters make victory poses in front of their ball and the Whomps, and the Monty Moles pop out of the ground. If a tie occurs, both teams do losing poses in front of their respective balls at the goal.
