Sphere Factor is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party 7. It returns in Mario Party: The Top 100 where the ball rolls much faster than it did in the original. Its name is a pun on the reality show Fear Factor, as was the name of the Mario Party 6 minigame, Pier Factor.
Introduction[edit]
The camera focuses on the goal line, then pans to the players.
Gameplay[edit]
The object of the minigame is for each pair to get their 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's particularly hard to get over. If the ball falls off the bridge, it needs to pushed up a steep hill.
