Crate and Peril

Template:Minigame-infobox Crate and Peril is a 1-vs-3 minigame in Mario Party 6. It reappears in Mario Party: The Top 100. Its name is a pun on the retail store Crate and Barrel.

Introduction

The introduction shows the solo player chasing the group players into a room, then sucking them into a box. Then the minigame starts.

Gameplay

The solo player's objective is to shake the box around and eliminate the group players by tilting the Spiny shells into them. The group players must survive for 30 seconds in order to win.

Ending

If the team wins, any players who are still standing perform their victory animations from within the box. If the solo player wins, they will stand on the stage and performs his or her victory animation. In The Top 100, the animations are instead performed on the results screen.
