Just because the game was designed to allow both teams to win does not meant that it is possible for both teams to win, the titanic was designed to be unsinkable, but look at how that ended. If you can provide a single instance of the solo player losing after trying his best, I will gladly eat my hat, until then you cannot refute this claim, please stop trolling.)

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.
