Pier Factor is a Donkey Kongminigame inMario Party 6. The surroundings of the area suggest that the minigame takes place in the harbor ofDelfino Plaza.

Introduction[edit]

Donkey Kong eats abanana at the end of the course, then leaps across the pier to the beginning, where the players are waiting.

Gameplay[edit]

The goal of the game is to get the most bananas, which in Party Mode are transferred into one, two, or threecoins (depending on the roulette result). Each player starts by choosing one of the fivebarrels to jump into. The board, which is a crossway bridge, is covered with bananas. The barrels with the players in them roll down the bridge, turning at every possible chance. If two players bump into each other as they cross onto another path, they move backward and continue down their previous paths.

Ending[edit]

The four players do their victory poses while Donkey Kong poses behind them.

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move
  • A Button – Confirm

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Choose one of the five barrels. The barrels will collect bananas as they move down the pier."
  • Advice"If barrels hit each other, they will change direction."

Naming[edit]

The minigame's name is a pun on the title of the NBC reality game showFear Factor.
