'''Boulder Ball''' is a 1-vs-3 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.


[[Boulder Ball]] is a 1-vs-3 player mini-game found in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. Three players have to go up the slope while the other player has to throw boulders down to the players so you can stun them for a while. If one of the three players reach on top of the ball, the three players win. But if the other player mamaged to keep the players from going on top of the slope, the other player wins!

The game takes place in a desert, and the three team players try to climb a sandy slope, while the other player controls a machine that can fling [[boulder]]s at them in an attempt to block their path. If squished by a boulder, a player is stunned and slides down the hill. If one of the team players reaches the top of the hill, they all win, but if the solo player manages to keep the team players from going on top of the hill, that player wins. In ''Mario Party Superstars'', the physics for the team of three are more slippery and realistic.

Gameplay[edit]

The game takes place in a desert, and the three team players try to climb a sandy slope, while the other player controls a machine that can fling boulders at them in an attempt to block their path.

If one of the team players reaches the top of the hill, they all win, but if the solo player manages to keep the team players from going on top of the hill, that player wins. In Mario Party Superstars, the physics for the team of three are more slippery and realistic.
