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


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.
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 either there is one player remaining or the time runs out (in which case all remaining players win). Also, this minigame starts with a whistle blow instead of the harmonica from the previous game.


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'' and ''Mario Party 2'', a draw takes place if the remaining players get eliminated. In ''The Top 100'' and ''Superstars'', this occurs only if all four players are eliminated simultaneously.
 
In [[Mini-Game Island]] and the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the player must stay on the platform for the whole 30 seconds to clear the minigame. Even if the three CPU players are eliminated, if the player does not last 30 seconds, they lose. This is no longer the case in ''The Top 100''{{'}}s Minigame Island.
