[[File:Bob-omb Breakers MPDS.png|thumb|left|x200px|Gameplay from ''Mario Party DS'']]
===''Mario Party 4''===
Players earn [[point]]s by grouping three or more similarly colored blocks to break them. Further points are earned from chains, where more groups of blocks are broken in a row. [[Bob-omb]]s can sometimes fall and explode by being surrounded with blocks. Though a 3x9 column is assigned to each player, they can still match blocks in others' columns, but if a player's column overflows, they are unable to play unless the blocks are cleared from their column. The first player to get 100 points wins, though if only one player's column has not overflown, that player wins instead.
Each character starts with their own column, three squares wide and nine squares high. Two by two, blocks fall from the top of their column. Players must use the falling blocks to earn [[point]]s by making groups of three or more similar-colored blocks, which breaks them. If the blocks break in such a way that one set falls to form another group of three, a chain is formed and even more points are scored. Sometimes, [[Bob-omb]]s fall; surrounding a Bob-omb with blocks causes it to explode and take out all the blocks touching it, scoring points for each one. The player who gets 100 points first wins the game.
 
Players are not restricted to placing blocks and Bob-ombs in their own columns. Any player can place any block anywhere, but they get points only if they are the one who completes the group of three. As a final note, if any player's column gets completely filled up, that player cannot participate until some of their blocks are cleared by other players. If three columns are filled up, the player whose column was not completely filled up wins, regardless of points.
 
===''Mario Party DS''===
In ''Mario Party DS'', there are a few changes. The bottom screen shows the entire action, while the top screen shows a tip about surrounding a Bob-omb. In addition to that, there is an "all clear" bonus that gives the player an additional 1,000 points. Each match is worth the amount of blocks cleared times the current level number, so for example, clearing three blocks in level 2 is worth 6 points (3 * 2), while clearing four blocks in level 3 is worth 12 points (4 * 3). Moreover, if a chain reaction is performed, the amount of points granted is multiplied by the position in the chain, so for example, if three blocks are cleared in level 3 on a second chain, it is worth 18 points (3 * 3 * 2). In each level, there is a gauge that depletes. Once it passed the first checkpoint, the leftmost and rightmost columns are closed off; once the second checkpoint is passed, two additional columns are closed off, for a total of two on each side; once the gauge is completely depleted, two more columns are closed off to leave only the middle three columns open. Closed off columns will remove any pieces within them. Once the player levels up, the gauge is filled to the max again, causing any closed off columns to be opened, if there are any. The maximum level is 99, but it can still be completed for the purpose of refreshing the gauge, although the level will stay at level 99.


Some changes were done in the one-player ''Mario Party DS'' version, though the two-player version has the same rules as in ''Mario Party 4''. Gameplay is done from the touch screen, while the top screen only gives a hint about surrounding a Bob-omb. There is also an "all clear" bonus worth 1,000 points. The amount of points earned from matching blocks equals the number cleared at once multiplied by the current level number, and a chain reaction also multiplies the position of the chain. Each level has a gauge, with the leftmost and rightmost columns closing after the first tier, then two more columns after the second tier, and two more columns once the gauge is full, leaving only the middle three columns open; by leveling up, the gauge resets, and the affected columns are reopened. One can go up to level 99, and clearing it only empties the gauge again.<ref>{{cite|author=Dark Deal|date=April 4, 2022|url=www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm40274774|title=【マリオパーティDS】ボムへいパズル TAS|publisher=NicoNico|accessdate=March 24, 2024|language=ja}}</ref>
The two-player version has the same rules as the ''Mario Party 4'' version.
