'''Pit Boss''' is a [[Bowser]] [[mini-game]] from ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. The game starts with all players in a pit, suddenly Bowser appears and throws a large spiked ball into it, which players have to avoid. If hit, that player becomes one of the losers. Eventually the ball will lose speed and stop. Bowser, infuriated, will throw two more in pit. These new balls will hit the first causing it to start rolling again. Players will now have to dodge three balls, the last person/people standing when time runs out avoid being the loser.
