Pier Factor

Pier Factor is a Donkey Kong minigame in Mario Party 6. 
==Layout==
The minigame is suggested to take place in the harbor of Delfino Plaza, specifically around where Noki Bay is accessed in Super Mario Sunshine, as shown from the topmost area where the minigame start. Its setting in Delfino Plaza is not implausible, considering that another Donkey Kong minigame, Banana Shake, shows Delfino Plaza itself within the background. Most of the minigame takes place on crossway bridges, composed of white, wooden planks, above the waters. Pairs of two DK Barrels are visible in the background at the starting area, although the dolphin statue is not there unlike in Super Mario Sunshine.
The ending area is a wide area with the DK emblem painted onto the bridge, as well as two stars on each side. At the very bottom are two flowerbeds consisting of small, red-petaled flowers placed against a rope fence, which is made up of thin, gray ropes connected between white, wooden planks. The bottom-left and bottom-right corners each have a DK Barrel, both of which are partially off-screen.
==Opening==
Donkey Kong eats a banana at the end of the course, then he leaps across the pier to the start, where the characters are.
==Gameplay==
The object for each character is to get the most bananas. Each player starts by choosing one of the five barrels to jump into. The characters have to roll in their barrel down a bridge and collect bananas placed along the path. The barrels turn every time there is a small, horizontal bridge connecting two of the main vertical bridges. If two characters bump into each other while crossing onto another path, they move backward and continue down their previous paths.
In Party Mode, like with other Donkey Kong minigames, each banana that a character collects is converted into either one, two, or three coins, depending on what the roulette landed on at the DK Space.
==Ending==
The four characters each perform their respective victory animation while Donkey Kong poses behind them.
