Pit Boss is a Bowser minigame in Mario Party 6 and Mario Party Superstars. Its name comes from the eponymous phrase, which is a person who supervises all the other employees in a casino.
Gameplay
The minigame starts with all players in a pit as Bowser throws a large Spiked Ball into it, which players have to avoid. If it hits a player, that player is eliminated and is put in a cage. Eventually, the Spiked Ball loses speed and stops. Bowser, infuriated, throws two more Spiked Balls into the pit. These new balls hit the first one and cause it to start rolling again, and gameplay continues as before. Whoever survives until all the Spiked Balls stop moving is a/the winner. Sometimes, it is possible for everyone to survive until the end, in which case no one loses. In both games, if all remaining players get knocked out of pit at the same time, it is considered a tie; while in the Free Play mode for the latter, this is the case only if all four players get hit with any of the Spiked Balls simultaneously.
In Mario Party Superstars, during Free Play, this minigame is treated as a 4-Player minigame; as such, it immediately ends when there is one player left standing.
