| The players are on a [[lava|magma]] flow, standing near the bottom of a stone platform with two to four ramp-like slopes. A couple of seconds later, [[Spike]] drops on the round top of the platform and spits out a [[Giant Spiked Ball|giant Spiked Ball]] at the top of each slope. | | The players are on a lava flow, standing near the bottom of a stone platform with four ramp-like slopes.

| The players have a short time to pick one of the objects shown on the screen to defend themselves from Spike's Spiked Balls. If a player chooses a [[hammer]], they bat the Spiked Ball back at Spike. A regular hammer earns the player one [[point]], but a golden hammer deals more damage to Spike and gives the player three points. If a player ends up picking a branch or does not choose anything within the allotted time, the Spiked Ball flattens their character, costing them a point (unless that player has no points). | | The players must pick one of the objects shown on the screen to defend themselves from [[Spike]]'s spiked balls. Each round, there will be three normal [[hammer]]s, one golden hammer, and one branch to select. If players choose a regular hammer, they will bat the spiked ball back at Spike and earn one point. The golden hammer has the same effect, but gives the player three points. If the players end up picking a branch, or does not end up choosing anything before the allotted time is spent, the projectile will flatten their characters, costing them a point. |

| The number of items varies depending on how many players are present, but during the very first round, there are always enough hammers for everyone (with only one being golden). As Spike's [[Health Meter|health]] drops, however, the number of hammers to choose from starts to decrease, ensuring that at least one player loses a point per round. In a two-player game, there are always enough hammers for both players during the first half of the minigame.
| | When Spike's health reaches its midway point, the [[lava]] will rise, forcing the players to move closer to Spike, and giving them less time to choose an item. Additionally, there will be one hammer less than the number of players for each round. When Spike's health is very low, the selectable items may be reduced to one gold hammer, one normal hammer, and three branches. There can also be cases where no gold hammers are present. |
| | |
| When Spike's health reaches its midway point, he gets angry and [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]s the platform. Afterwards, the magma rises, forcing the players to move closer to Spike, giving them less time to choose an item. Additionally, the number of hammers to choose from decreases even further, being reduced to only one hammer in a two-player game and two hammers in a four-player game. In a three-player game, only one hammer is present when Spike has less than a quarter of his health left. As usual, players who deliver the finishing blow to the boss receive three additional points, and the player with the most points after the battle wins. | |

| *If the player picks a branch, the character icon will have a sad expression that is not seen anywhere else in the game.
| | {{Mario Party 9}} |
| *This is one of three boss minigames in ''Mario Party 9'' where at least one player character is bound to get hurt, the others being [[Whomp Stomp]] and [[Chain Chomp Romp]], due to there being too few hammers to deflect the Spiked Balls after the first round.
