'''Bombs Away''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. Its name comes from an exclamation that is commonly said when someone is preparing to throw or drop something.

==Overview==
Players move around on a tilting around, trying to avoid [[cannonball]]s shot at them from a pirate ship. If a cannonball hits the island, any player who has not jumped becomes stunned for a few seconds. If a player falls into the water, especially if a cannonball hits them, they are eliminated, with a [[Blooper]] carrying them away. On [[Mini-Game Island]] in ''Mario Party'' and in the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the player is required to stay on the island for 30 seconds to win, even if every opponent is out. In ''Mario Party 2'', [[Bullet Bill]]s are sometimes shot, and when the timer is at seven seconds left, the ship uses a very powerful missile with a wide blast radius.

Either the last player standing or any players who survive for 30 seconds win the minigame. In the first two ''Mario Party'' games, a draw occurs if remaining players are eliminated, but in {{a|MPTT100}} and {{a|MPS}}, this only occurs if all four players are eliminated at the same time.

Bombs Away can be bought at the [[Mini-Game House]] in ''Mario Party'' for 250 [[coin]]s, or from [[Woody]] in ''Mario Party 2'' for 50 coins.
