If the ball crashes into one of the players, that player is eliminated and is put in a cage. Eventually, the Spiked Ball loses speed and stops. Bowser, infuriated, throws two more Spiked Balls into the pit. These new balls hit the first one and cause it to start rolling again, and gameplay continues as before.

If all remaining players are knocked out at the same time (Mario Party 6), or if everyone is eliminated by having a spiked sphere simultaneously knock against them while tying in 4th place (Mario Party Superstars), the minigame ends in a tie.
