'''Bobbing Bow-loons''' is an Item [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. | '''Bobbing Bow-loons''' is an Item [[minigame]] that appears in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', albeit unnamed in the latter. "Bow-loons" is a pun on "balloons." | ||
== | ==Introduction== | ||
The minigame takes place in the skies, where the stone towers appear in the background, along with moving clouds at the bottom and bright rainbows. The sky is entirely made up of bricks painted blue from dark to bright. The player is prepared as they are hovering with the balloon attached to them. As the player prepares to use the bow, gusts of wind are heard, and then the minigame starts. | |||

The player | ==Gameplay== | ||
The player's objective is to shoot one of the five balloons that contain items within the time limit of ten seconds. The row of balloons moves vertically at different speeds. The value of the item varies, with a powerful item usually behind the row of balloons and a common item usually in front of the player. If the player pops a balloon with their arrow, they receive the item from the balloon they popped. | |||
However, if the arrow is shot and misses the whole row of balloons, the arrow bounces off the stone tower and pops the player's own balloon. [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] (in ''Mario Party 3'') or [[Bowser Jr.]] (in ''Superstars'') then appears in the window of one of the other stone towers and laughs at the player's loss (with a slight camera pan towards said stone tower). If time runs out, the balloons disappear and the arrow is automatically shot, with the same events described above playing out. | |||
In ''Mario Party Superstars'', the minigame is played from the reverse perspective, with the player on the left and the balloons on the right. | |||

*If the player presses {{button|n64|A}} to shoot an arrow after time is up, the arrow is re-shot from the bow with the shooting sound effect. However, it still causes a failure on the player. | |||
