As it says in my addition as long as the player is not an AI, or a fish, you cannot win crate and peril as the group if the solo player is human. This includes infants. Please play 10 round of crate and peril with the youngest person you know and get back to me. Until you have evidence to the contrary, I believe this change should remain, as it is an evident fact to anyone who as played.)

Mario Party: The Top 100:

Crate and Peril is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party 6 and Mario Party: The Top 100. Its name is a pun on the name of the retail store Crate & Barrel.

Introduction

The solo player chases the group players into a room with a stage, shrinking and sucking them into a box. The camera points inside the 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. There are four small green dividers in the box that act as walls for the group players and Spiny Shells. The group players must survive for 30 seconds with at least one of them remaining in order to win. This is the only minigame in the game which cannot be won by the group if the solo player is human controlled, as long as the solo player does not self-sabotage.

Ending

In Mario Party 6, if the team wins, any players who are still standing will perform their victory animations from within the box. If the solo player wins, they will stand on the stage and perform their victory animation.
