==Gameplay==
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. It is possible for everyone to survive until the end, in which case no one loses.
 
In ''Mario Party Superstars'', during Free Play, the minigame immediately ends when there is one player left standing.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/az82a/share/g0082.html Pit Boss page on official Japanese ''Mario Party Superstars'' website]</ref> The minigame is also one of the possible minigames that can be played if the Bowser Minigame event is triggered when a player lands on a [[Bowser Space]].

Players try to avoid the [[Spike Ball|spike sphere]] that [[Bowser]] had thrown into the pit, otherwise they are removed from the field and enter a cage.

In Free Play mode of ''Mario Party Superstars'', the last player remaining wins.
