Spinner Cell is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party 7.

Introduction[edit]

The solo player's platform lowers down to the bottom right of the stage where the team of three is standing. The large spiked spinner and the little yellow spinner come out of the background door and move onto the stage, shocking the players.

Gameplay[edit]

The solo player controls the movement of each spinner using both control sticks on their controller. The Control Stick moves the larger spinner, which is spiked and eliminates any player on contact. The C Stick moves the smaller spinner, which is quicker and just knocks players around.

Spinner Cell is one of the 1-vs.-3 minigames where if the solo player defeats every opponent, they win, but then if only one group player is left when time expires, the team wins.

Ending[edit]

If the team wins, any players who are still standing perform their secondary victory animations within the stage, while the solo player does their losing animation. If the solo player wins, the camera moves an angle to the solo player and zooms in, and they perform their secondary winning animation.
