==Gameplay==
[[File:Wario Bowl Over 2.png|thumb|left|The ''Mario Party 2'' version]]
In ''Mario Party'', the minigame takes place inside a chapel with stained glass windows. The team players (who are the pins) must avoid being hit by a [[Green Shell]], while the other player has to bowl and control the shell to knock over as many of the team players as possible. If the solo player knocks over a normal pin, they get a [[Coin]]. If the player's shell touches the sides or reaches the end of the lane without knocking over any pins, the minigame ends in a "Miss!" If a player's pin gets hit by the shell, the bowler takes five Coins from the player. If all the pins are knocked over, the announcer says, ''"Strike!"''
Bowl Over takes place at one of three bowling lane layouts. The team players are represented as bowling pins among regular ones. The solo player (who is always the human player in [[Mini-Game Coaster]] in ''Mario Party 2'') throws a [[Green Shell]] at them (in addition to a second one in ''Mario Party 2''). The team players try to avoid the bowling pins. The solo player earns a [[Coin]] for each regular pin they knock over. If the shell either touches the sides or does not knock over any pins, the minigame ends in a "Miss!", though the announcer says ''"Strike!"'' if every pin is hit. The ''Mario Party 2'' version has no side barriers. In ''Mario Party'' only, if a player's pin gets hit by the shell, they lose five Coins to the bowler.
 
In ''Mario Party 2'', there are some changes to the minigame. This time, the minigame is set on top of a canyon during a sunset. The solo player must knock over all the opponents, and has a chance to throw a second shell. This variation has no side barriers, and the solo player does not win coins from the players they knock down.
 
In both versions, there are several variations on the bowling "lane" path.
 
In the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the human player is always the solo player.
 
In ''Mario Party'', the minigame can be purchased from the [[Mini-Game House]] for 350 Coins. In ''Mario Party 2'', the minigame can be purchased from [[Woody]] for 100 Coins.
