Crate and Peril

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

Introduction
The introduction shows the solo player chasing the group players into a room, then sucking them into a box. The camera points inside the box as the minigame then 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. The group players must survive for 30 seconds with at least one of them remaining in order to win.

Ending
If the team wins, any players who are still standing perform their victory animations from within the box. If the solo player wins, they will stand on the stage and performs their victory animation. In The Top 100, the animations are instead performed on the results screen.
