Mario Party: The Top 100:

Sphere Factor is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 7 Mario Party: The Top 100andMario Party SuperstarsIts name is a pun on the title of the NBC reality game show Fear Factor, as was the name of the Mario Party 6 minigame Pier Factor.

Introduction

The camera focuses on the goal line, then pans to the players.

Gameplay

The object of the minigame is for each pair to get its giant ball to the goal. The ball must be pushed around and through many obstacles, which include mini-mazes, Monty Moles, Whomps, and a bridge that is particularly hard to get over. If the ball falls off the bridge, it needs to be pushed up a steep hill. The team that gets its ball to the goal first wins. If five minutes pass in Mario Party 7, the minigame ends in a tie.

In Mario Party: The Top 100, the balls roll much faster than they did in Mario Party 7.

Ending

The ending to Sphere Factor in Mario Party 7

In Mario Party 7, the winning team's characters make victory poses in front of their ball and the Whomps, and the Monty Moles pop out of the ground. If a tie occurs, both teams do losing poses in front of their respective balls at the goal.
