==Gameplay==
==Overview==
The game takes place in a desert, and the three team players try to climb a sandy slope, while the other player controls a machine that can fling [[boulder]]s at them in an attempt to block their path. If squished by a boulder, the squished player is stunned and slides down the hill. If one of the team players reaches the top of the hill, they all win, but if the other player manages to keep the players from going on top of the hill, that player wins.

The solo player uses a machine to throws [[boulder]]s at the team players, who try to make it to the top of a sandy slope before time runs out. If a boulder hits a player, they become squished temporarily and slide down the hill. If the solo player stops every team member from making it to the top, they win, but if at least one team player makes it, the team wins.


Boulder Ball appears in Stages 1 and 4 of the [[Mt. Minigames#Trio Challenge|Trio Challenge]] in [[Mt. Minigames]]. Stage 1 features a battle against a solo CPU player at Easy difficulty, with the player receiving a Rank A if they win with at least 15 seconds remaining; Rank B for 10–14 seconds; Rank C for 5–9 seconds; and Rank D for 1–4 seconds. Stage 4 has the opposite set-up of a solo human player against a team of three CPU players, earning a Rank A if the team members lose and have gone up a combined distance of 150%–300%, Rank B if it is 100%–149%, Rank C if it is 50%–99%, or Rank D if it is 1%–49%.
