'''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.
'''Bombs Away''' is a 4-player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. The ''Mario Party'' version returns in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''.  


==Overview==
==Gameplay==
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.
A ship appears at the scene shooting [[cannonball]]s at an island that bobs and tilts. The players have to avoid falling down into the ocean while the cannonballs hit the island.


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.
If one of the cannonballs hits the island and one of the players has failed to jump to avoid the shockwave, the player is temporary stunned. If the player is caught right under the bomb, they will be blasted off the island and into the water, where a [[Blooper]] picks up the character.


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.
In ''Mario Party 2'', when the clock reaches five seconds, the ship will engage a very powerful missile that has a wider blast radius than the standard [[Bullet Bill]]s fired onto the island. The game ends when there is either one player remaining, or the time runs out (in which case all remaining players win). Also, this Mini-Game starts with a whistle blow instead of the harmonica from the previous game.


==Controls==
In ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'', a draw takes place if the remaining players get eliminated. In ''The Top 100'', this only occurs if all four players are eliminated simultaneously.
